CATALOGUE OF THE LEPIDOPTERA OF IRELAND. 15 



Dasypolia templi, Thnb. — One larva at Clonmacnois. 



Cleoceeis viminalis, Fb. — Near Sligo (McC). 



Hadena protea, Bork. — One taken at Killynon, Westmeath, 

 by Miss Reynell. The occurrence of single specimens in Galway 

 and Westmeath of a moth so plentiful in its English habitats is 

 a phenomenon more inexplicable than would be its total absence. 



H. DissiMiLis, Knock. — Ardtully, Kenmare, Co. Kerry ; Timo- 

 league, Co. Cork {R. D.). 



AsTERoscopus SPHINX, Hufii. — During the last few years this 

 moth has been captured in various Irish localities, having been 

 very numerous in 1896, from ten to twenty-eight specimens per 

 night having been taken by Mr. Dillon and myself at Clonbrock. 

 In that year it was numerous at Curraghmore, Co, Waterford 

 (Rev. W. Flemyng) ; and its capture was recorded in the Co. 

 Dublin at Dundrum and Templeogue (Ir. Nat. v. 317). Dromo- 

 land, Co. Clare {Hon. E. O'Brien). 



CucuLLiA vbrbasci, L. — This species must be deleted. Prof. 

 Hart's record was a clerical error for C. chamomilla. 



C. ABSiNTHii, L. — One taken flying to lime blossom at Timo- 

 league, Co. Cork, this year, by Mr. R. Donovan. A small example, 

 but in fair condition. 



Plusia bractea, Fh. — Single examples have occurred at 

 Drumreaske, Monaghan, Castle Bellingham, and Belleisle, near 

 Lisbellaw ; and seventeen were taken by Mr. Allen at Ennis- 

 killen on honeysuckle. 



P. interrogationis, L.— Cloonee, near Kenmare {R. E.D.). 



Heliothis armigera, Hb. — One at Killynon, Westmeath, 

 1896 {Miss Reynell). 



Chariclea umbra, Hufn. — Several at Howth {G. V. H.) ; 

 Timoleague, Co. Cork {R. D.). 



Bankia argentula, Hb. — Clonbrock {R. E. D.). 



Hydrelia uncula, Clerck. — Dromoland, Co. Clare {Hon. E. 

 O'Brien). 



Euclidia glyphica, L. — I have met with this species plenti- 

 fully all over the Burr en of Clare, and south to Dromoland. 



Catocala fraxini, L. — A specimen flew into the window of 

 Mr. Thompson's house, Marlborough Street, Derry, September, 

 1896. Possibly imported by a ship. 



Bomolocha fontis, Thnb. — Dalyston, near Loughrea, Co. 

 Galway. Var. rufescens, Tutt ; and var. sufiusa, Tutt. The 

 same forms also occur in Kerry ; Timoleague, Co. Cork {R. D.).
