Knocknarea (Russ) and Markree Castle, Co. Sligo ; near Done- 

 gal ; Drumreaske, Monaghan ; Castle Bellingham, Louth {Thorn- 

 hill) ; Glendalough, Co. Wicklow ; Howth (G. V. H.) ; Cratloe, 

 near Limerick; Ardrahan, and near Galway {A.). 



EuPiTHEOiA ABBREviATA, 6^f.— Widely spread and common in 

 many localities in Wicklow, Kerry, Galway, &c. I have not 

 met with it numerously in the North of Ireland. The following 

 are a few localities where it is more or less numerous : — Killarney ; 

 Powerscourt, Arklow, and Wooden Bridge, Wicklow ; Clonbrock, 

 very abundant, Co. Galway ; Markree Castle, &c., Sligo ; Derry 

 (C); Ballycastle, Co. Antrim [Curzon) ; Favour Koyal, Tyrone ; 

 Drumreaske, Monaghan ; Belleisle, on L. Erne, &c. 



EupiTHECiA DODONEATA, Gn. — Has occurred in several widely 

 separated districts in the centre and north of L-eland. Powers- 

 court and Glendalough, Co. Wicklow ; Armagh {J.) ; near Gal- 

 way, fairly abundant (A.); Knocknarea (Buss), (Ent. Eecord, 

 vol. vii.). 



EupiTHECiA ExiGUATA, lib. — Not scarcc, and widely spread. 

 Common at Powerscourt and other parts of Wicklow ; Dublin 

 (B.) ; Killynon, Co. Westmeath {Miss B.) ; Drumreaske, Mona- 

 ghan, abundant ; Favour Eoyal, Tyrone ; Kenmare and Killar-

EupiTHECiA soBRiNATA, HI). — A good series was beaten from 

 juniper at Tudor Cottage, near Kingstown, by the Eev. Joseph 

 Greene many years ago. The Eev. W. F. Johnson has taken it 

 at Armagh similarly. These no doubt are introduced specimens 

 from nursery gardens. On the indigenous plants, however, it 

 has also occurred at Knocknarea, near Sligo {Buss) ; and Mr. 

 Barrett met with it in the Co. Antrim, and Mr. Watts at Slieve 

 Donard, Co. Down. 



EupiTHECiA TOGATA, Hb. — This piuc-feedcr appears to be 

 spreading over an extensive area in Ireland as a result of the 

 planting of spruce-fir, and must be considered an introduced 

 species. I first met with it at Knockdrin, near Mullingar, where 

 Miss Eeynell captured the first specimen, and it proved to be 

 fairly numerous, as well as at Eockview, where I took the larvas 

 abundantly. Agher, Co. Meath {Miss B.) ; Killarney, one {W.) ; 

 Sligo, one {M'C); Clonbrock, Co. Galway, abundant, by Mr. 

 Dillon and myself ; and at Coolarne in the same county {A.). At 

 Mote Park, Eoscommon, and at Charleville Forest, Tullamore, 

 Kings Co., and Drumreaske, I found traces of the larvae. The 

 Irish specimens I have seen appear to belong to the true type, 

 being handsomely marbled with red ; while the Scottish grey 

 form appears more like the species abietaria, Goze (as was
