A CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTEKA OF IRELAND. 287 



as larvffi on their food-plant. They vary somewhat, and often 

 are handsomely marked with pale strigse outside the central 

 spot and the elbowed line. 



EupiTHEciA TRisiGNARiA, H, S. — Howth {B.) I havB not met 

 with it in Ireland. 



EupiTHECiA viRGAUREATA, DM. — Howth, Powerscourt, Co. 

 Wicklow, and Killarney (B.) ; Knocknarea, rare {Buss}, and 

 Markree Castle, Co. Sligo ; Armagh {J.) ; Clonbrock, Co. Galway 

 {B. E. D.) ; Glendalough, Co. Wicklow. Mr. Campbell recorded 

 this species from near Derry, as I understand, in error. 



EupiTHECiA FRAxiNATA, Cvewe. — Very rare, Killarney ; Clon- 

 brock [B. E. D.) and Ardrahan, Co. Galway ; Markree Castle, 

 Co. Sligo. 



EupiTHECiA piMPiNELLATA, Hh. — Howth {B.). At a quarry by 

 Dean Rock on the Lough road, Cork {Holt) ; near Derry (C) ; 

 and probably Birchair 8 record of denotata, Killarney {Wallace) 

 refers to this species. 



EupiTHECiA vALERiANATA, Hh. — I have met with the larvae in 

 Lord Earnham's demesne, Cavan. Imagines taken at Moy- 

 cuUen, Co. Galway, were identified by Mr. Barrett as probably 

 of this species. 



[EupiTHECiA iNNOTATA, Hufii. — Birchall's Wicklow record must 

 be deleted. There is a reference in the Ent. Mo. Mag. vol. ii. 

 261, to a capture of this species in the "North of Ireland."] 



EupiTHECiA iNDiGATA, Hh. — This specics has probably been 

 overlooked, and will be found more widely distributed than my 

 localities suggest. The tracts of country in Donegal, Galway, 

 Leitrim, and Mayo, where wild juniper grows freely, still await 

 careful exploration by entomologists. Altadiawan, Co. Tyrone 

 {M.F.); Clonbrock {B.E.D.) and Galway {A.); Derry (C.) ; 

 and some very black specimens taken near Belfast by Mr. Watts 

 are questionably referable to this species, but probably to assimi- 

 lata {G.C.B.). 



EupiTHECiA coNSTRicTATA, Gil. — Mr. Barrett's statement that 

 this insect was generally distributed and common, and that he 

 had taken it in considerable numbers at Howth, Galway, and 

 Killarney, has been corroborated by its subsequent capture in 

 many localities since. Howth {G. V. H.), Glendalough, Co. 

 Wicklow; Eavour Boyal, Tyrone; Armagh {J.) ; Castle Belling- 

 ham {Thornhill) ; Island Magee and Kilkeel, Co. Down {W.) ; 

 Knocknarea {Buss) and Markree Castle, Co. Sligo ; Drumaweir, 

 Inishowen {G. V. H.), and Derry (C.) ; Kilcornan, Co. Galway. 

 Staudinger gives no continental localities for this insect. 



EupiTHECiA NANATA,/iZ>.— Universally distributed and common
