862 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 
on to Killaloe on the Shannon, and about six miles from 
there—on the banks of Lough Derg, on the left side, in a 
marshy place, on the 29th May—I found six specimens of 
Chlenius holosericeus running in the sunshine ; this is the 
only really rare species I met with in Ireland: it has not, I 
believe, been taken for about thirty-five years, when a few 
specimens were then found in the fens of Cambridge, by Dr. 
Power and others. From this place I proceeded to Killarney, 
where I collected a few hours only, and principally on the 
margins of the Middle and Upper Lake; but Phosphaga 
subrotundata was crawling on the dusty road. After staying 
three days at Killarney I proceeded to Rosbeigh, about 
sixteen miles: this place is near the sea-shore, and looked 
promising; but it was very disappointing, as will be seen by 
the list. Although Ireland is rich in some plants, I did not 
meet with the great variety that are to be found in the South 
of England and on our coast, which accounts for the limited 
number of species of insects. I have no doubt, however, any 
good collector visiting the places, and really working hard, 
would turn up many other species, and probably a few 
rarities amongst them.
