species was first discovered at Lyme Eegis by Mr. Percy Wor- 

 mald, and noticed in ' The Zoologist,' vol. xxi. p. 8861." 



As the foregoing extract was published in 1892, and Mr. 

 Meyrick's 'Handbook' in 1895, it would have been well if Dr. 

 Knaggs, in correcting "some inaccuracies" made by Mr. Mey- 

 rick, had set forth logically both sides of the question, when he 

 might have discovered that others who had studied the question 

 de novo were in perfect accord with Mr. Meyrick. 



I am rather inclined to think with Dr. Knaggs that the species 

 will have to be in future written Chortodes morrisii, Morris, and 

 not Chortodes morrisii, Dale. 



A CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF IRELAND.

(Continued from p. 238.) 



EupiTHECiA SATYEATA, HI). — Is fouud commonly on all the 

 bogs and moors of Ireland. It varies greatly, the whitish grey 

 variety having been met with at Derry (C.) ; Churchill, Co. 

 Armagh {J.) ; near Favour Eoyal, Tyrone ; Moycullen, Conne- 

 mara ; Markree Castle, Sligo, and Knocknarea (Buss). A 

 striking form with well-marked striae, but perhaps not so strongly 

 banded as most examples of the var. carzoni, occurs at Powers- 

 court, Co. Wicklow ; and on the Belfast hills Mr. Watts met 

 with similar specimens. The var. subatrata also occurs abun- 

 dantly near Galway (A.), and Moycullen ; at Mohill, Co. Leitrim; 

 Favour Eoyal, Tyrone ; and elsewhere. 



EupiTHEciA CASTiGATA, Hb. — One of the commonest species 

 of this genus throughout Ireland, and most variable in markings 

 and tint. Large examples with strongly marked striga; are often 

 difficult to distmguish from E. lariciata. 



EupiTHECiA JASIONEATA, Crewc. — This interesting species ap- 

 pears to be confined to the south-west corner of Ireland, not 

 Jjaving so far been captured out of Kerry and the portion of Cork 

 which includes Bautry Bay. In those districts, however, it is 

 found abundantly both along the shores of Dingle and Bantry 

 Bay, and inland from Kenmare, as well as about Killarney ; in 

 fact, generally wherever Jasione montana is plentiful. The first 

 Irish specimens were brought as pupae by certain collectors of 

 Mr. Meek, who, taking them to belong to some common s]3ecies, 

 threw them out on a dust-heap in his yard. In due time many 

 of them emerged, and proved to be the scarce Eupithecia named 

 by Mr. Crewe from Cornish specimens. They are to be taken 

 in flight at dusk where plentiful, but are more easily captured
