CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF IRELAND. 329 



GoNOPTERYx RHAMNi, L. — Broadfoi'd, Scariff (Ir. Nat. vii. 58), 

 and Cratloe, Co. Clare {F. Neale). Also at Dalyston, near 

 Lougfirea, and Gort, Co. Galway {R. E. D.) ; Ballinrobe, and 

 shore of L. Mask. 



MELiTiEA AURiNiA, Rott. — Tliis spGCies seems to be very 

 universally though locally distributed throughout Ireland. The 

 folloAving are some additional localities : — Milepost, Co. Kilkenny; 

 Timoleague and Berehaven, Co. Cork ; Birr, King's Co. ; Merlin 

 Park, Galway; Portlaw, Co. Waterford; Dalyston, near Loughrea. 



Vanessa io, L. — In 1900 not rare in many places in Ulster? 

 as at Armagh, Derry, Donegal, Drumreaske, Newry, and Tyrone. 



Erebia epiphron, var. cassiope, Fb. — Since writing my 

 notice of this butterfly, and suggesting that the mountain range 

 from Achill to Nephin might very probably yield habitats, I have 

 been fortunate enough to meet with a few specimens on Nephin. 

 The bad weather and subsequent engagements have prevented 

 my investigating the locality further. One specimen, in a collec- 

 tion of the Eev. Pi. McClean, is believed to have been taken on 

 the hilly slopes on the eastern shores of L. Gill, Sligo. 



Ccenonympha typhon, Rott. — Very dark forms about Clon- 

 brock. 



Thecla quercus, L. — Cratloe, near Limerick {F. N.), Killar- 

 ney, Timoleague, Co. Cork (D.) ; Killoughrim Wood, Ennis- 

 corthy (M.) ; Enniskillen, scarce (P.) ; Dalyston, Co. Galway 

 {R. E. D.) ; Portlaw, Co. Waterford. 



Lyc^na argiolus, L. — Curraghmore, Co. Waterford, abun- 

 dant {B. Wijse). 



Syrichthus malv^, L. — Two taken at the copper mines, 

 Killarney {W. Salvage), 



NisoNiADES tages, L.— Killarney (Mucross demesne), Ennis- 

 corthy (M.) ; abundant throughout the Burren, and the stony 

 limestone pastures of Clare, from Dromoland, Kilfenora to Bally- 

 vaughan. 



HETEEOCERA. 



AcHERONTiA ATROPOS, L. — It would serve no purpose to chro- 

 nicle the localities in which, in suitable years, this migrant or 

 Sphinx convolvidi has been noticed. Being such strong fliers, 

 the immigrants disperse themselves over every part of the 

 island, sometimes in considerable numbers. 



Deilephila livornica, Es2j. — One at Trim, in 1894, by Mrs. 

 Cuppage ; one at Howth {G, V. H.). 



Smerinthus ocellatus, L.— Timoleague {R. Donovan), and 

 Mallow {Stawell), Co. Cork; numerous at L. Iron, Westmeath ;
