was recorded in mistake by Mr. Birehall, but it probably occurs 



there.) 



Cebastis eeythkocephala, Fb. — The Hon. E. E. Dillon took 

 two examples at ivy on the same evening of a peculiar form of 

 this species, redder than var. glabra, Hb., and intermediate 

 between it and the type. 



ScoPELOsoMA SATELLiTiA, L. — Generally very common, but 

 somewhat uncertain in distribution. Varies as in Great Britain. 



Dasycampa rubiginea, Fb. — Taken by Birehall at Dublin, 

 Tullamore, and Killarney ; Devil's Glen, Co. Wicklow; one near 

 Galway (R.E.D.). 



Opoeina croceago, Fb. — One specimen bred from a larva 

 taken at Clonbrock {R. E. D.). 



Xanthia citrago, L. — Co. Wicklow {B.) ; two at Clonbrock, 

 Co. Galway (R.E.D.). 



Xanthia fulvago, L.— Probably widely distributed, but less 

 frequent than the following species. I have not taken the var. 

 gilvago, Haw. {fiavesccns, Esp.) ; but the intermediate aberra- 

 tions with more or less obsolete markings are occasionally found. 

 Co. Wicklow, abundant {B.), Powerscourt; Kilderry and near 

 Derry, abundant (C.) ; Enniskillen, abundant {Col. Partridge) ; 

 Armagh {J.) ; Castle Bellingham, one (Thornldll) ; Belfast, 

 scarce (W.) ; Killarney, abundant; Markree, Co. Sligo, &c. 



Xanthia flavago, Fb. — Pound in most localities, and not 

 scarce. Ashford, Powerscourt, Kilcool, and Greystones, Co. 

 Wicklow; Glengarriff, Killarney, and Sneem, Co. Kerry ; Cap- 

 pagh, Co. Waterford ; Holly brook, Markree, Lissadell, and L. 

 Gill, Co. Sligo; Clonbrock, Co. Galway {R.E.D.); Derry {C); 

 and Mishowen {G.V.H.), Belfast; Favour Eoyal, and Drum- 

 reaske, Monaghan ; Armagh {J.) ; Enniskillen {S.) ; Killynon 

 ( Miss R.) ; Cromlyn {Mrs. B.) ; Westmeath. 



Xanthia aurago, Fb. — Birehall notes that it was reported as 

 taken by a Mr. Haughton, but no locality recorded. One at 

 Clonbrock {R.E.D.). 



Xanthia gilvago, Esid. — One at Clonbrock, Co. Galway 

 {R.E.D.). 



Xanthia circellaris, Hufn. — Everywhere very abundant. 

 Irish examples usually seem less strongly marked, and paler than 

 the form I am familiar with in the South of England, which have 

 the pattern of waved strigse, &c., distinctly represented.
