398 Mr. N. H. Foster on 



have proved to be L. lapidicola. It had been recorded from 

 Cavan, Fermanagh, Donegal E., Armagh, and Antrim in 

 Ulster, but the specimens on which these records were based 

 cannot now be produced. Regarding its Britannic status, 

 Bagnall says that a Lancashire example is truly referable to 

 this species, most, ♦f not all, other records of borealis being 

 referable to lapidicola*. 



Lithobius lapidicola, Meinert. 



The Ulster localities for this species are Murray's Wood 

 (Coalisland), Tyrone, and Ballynahinch and Bally magee, 

 Down. Elsewhere in Ireland it has been taken in Wicklow 

 and Sligo, but, as stated above, it is probable that the Irish 

 records for L. borealis should be referable to this species. 



Lithobius (Monotarsobius) crassipes, C. L. Koch. 



This species has been obtained in Monaghan, Armagh, 

 Down, Antrim, and Londonderry. Outside Ulster it has 

 only been recorded from Co. Louth. 



Lithobius (Monotarsobius) microps, Meinert. 



Specimens taken at Ballyquintin Point, Down, and Falca- 

 ragh, Donegal W., were among the last Myriapods examined 

 by Selbie prior to his departure from Dublin to serve and 

 die for his country. As at this time the distinction between 

 this species and the closely allied L. duboscqui was not 

 recognized by him and earlier workers, it is almost certain 

 that the foregoing should have been allocated to the latter 

 species, and it is unfortunate that the specimens cannot now 

 be traced. 



Lithobius (Monotarsobius) duboscqui, Brolemann. 



This species was first detected in Ireland in 1914, from a 

 specimen taken in Co. Carlow, but it was afterwards found 

 that the few specimens labelled L. mierops in the National 

 Museum, Dublin, should have been named L. duboscqui. 

 The Ulster records are Raughlan (Lough Neagh), Armagh; 

 Ballyquintin Point and Hillsborough, Down ; and Antrim 

 Town and Whitepark Bay, Antrim. The specimen taken at 

 Raughlan has been referred to the var. fosteri f.
