THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



S. TiLi^, L. — One at Killarney, reported by W. Salvage. 



Macroglossa bombyliformis, Esp. — (The narrow-bordered 

 bee-hawk). By an oversight Ochsenheimer's species appears in 

 the Catalogue. It is referable to the above. Further localities 

 are Clonbrock, Athenry, and Merlin Park, Galway ; Mote Park, 

 Roscommon ; Cratloe Wood, near Limerick {Neale) ; Mallow 

 (Stmcell) ; Curraghmore, Waterford {B. Wyse.). 



Trochilium crabroniformis, Leicin. — Castle Bellingham, 

 Clonbrock, Enniskillen, and Tempo. 



Sesia scoliiformis, Bott. — Since writing a notice of this 

 species I have taken three imagines at Killarney, as well as the 

 larvae both there and near Kenmare. A Pim'pla bred from one 

 of the latter, Mr. Bignell states {in Utt.), is a new British species 

 of ichneumon not in Marshall's list. Pimpla exammator he had 

 received from Gregson, out of the same host. 



S. myopiformis, Bork. — Clonbrock; KiWuYney {W. Salvage). 

 I have found the larvae and empty pupal cases of this or the 

 following species in cherry-trees at Drumreaske, Monaghan. Its 

 ravages produce serious damage in the stems, which swell out 

 where bored into unsightly excrescences exuding gum. 



Sesia culicifoemis, L. — Two imagines taken at Clonbrock 

 by Mr. Dillon. 



S. MusciFORMis, View. — Reported by Dr. Greene from near 

 Ferns, Co. Wexford. 



Zyg^ena filoselle, Esp. — On the Galway shore of L. Derg, 

 a few (Gleeson), Ir. N. viii. 250. I have met with it over a wide 

 extent of the Co. Clare, especially in Burren, and as far south as 

 Dromoland. A unique variety, with yellow under wings, was 

 taken by Mr. Allen near Galway. 



(Z. TRiFOLii, Esp. — I am, on further examination of the 

 question, inclined to delete this species from the Irish list. The 

 few specimens relied on (since Mr. More's record at Castle 

 Taylor) are worn and doubtful, and, having gained a considerable 

 further experience of the Irish lepidopterous fauna, I am unable 

 to substantiate with certainty the earlier records, which I believe 

 must be referred to the following species.) 



Z. LONicERiE, Esp. — Roundstone, Connemara {Walker) ; 

 Portora, near Enniskillen, abundant {A.); Dungannon {T.Greer); 

 Clonbrock {R. E. D.) ; Belleisle, near Lisbellaw. 



Nola confusalis, H.-S. — Clonbrock ; Timoleague, Co. Cork 

 (R.D.); Enniskillen (P.). 



NuDARiA SENEX, Hb. — One specimen taken by Col. Partridge 

 near Enniskillen.
