In analysing the above, it may be said, with regard to the 
males, that the femora are in the darker condition alluded to 
under the Emyvale specimens, any exceptions being unimportant. 
The thoracic spots a, B, c, D, H (with one or two exceptions where 
A, B are nearly connected) are of variable and usually moderate 
size, but they are practically always completely isolated, and in 
6, 9, and 11 run rather small, approaching the Scottish form. 
The middle field of the thorax, however, is frequently hardly 
outlined at all; this is the case in 1, 2, 3a, 4,5, 6; in the others 
it is outlined, although sometimes rather faintly; in 9 strongly, 
with traces of the diagonal line. The sternum, in nearly every 
case, is marked with black, sometimes rather strongly; and the 
under side of the abdomen seems much blacker as a rule, especi- 
ally in the anterior segments, than in the more typical forms. 
The shading at the side of the eyes is more or less marked in 
3a, 6, 7, Ta, 9, 12, 13, 14, and in the others hardly or not at all 
indicated. The females are less satisfactory in condition. The 
thoracic spots A, B, 0, D, E are all isolated except a, B in 1, 2, 4, 
in which they are narrowly connected ; the middle field is always 
outlined. 
Further Irish material in Mr. King’s collection, examined by 
him, seems to be very constant in regard to the generally darker 
condition of the legs, and also the usually darker condition of 
the under side of the abdomen, but is in other respects variable. 
In a male from Wexford; male, Westport; male, Killarney, and 
two males from Cappoquin, the lateral markings of the thorax 
are much as in diagram No.1; while females from Killarney 
and Cong, Co. Mayo, are almost similar in that respect. One 
female from Athlone is almost a typical striolatum as regards the 
thorax; another from the same locality is an intermediate. One 
from West Meath has the middle field outlined in fuscous, while 
another from the same county is described as very near to an 
example from Islay. 
Three males from the Isle of Man, also sent by the Dublin
