LBPIDOPTBRA OF COUNTY CORK. 835 



Barra and Pass of Keimaneigh, July 22nd, 1901. Thyatira 

 derasa, fairly common. T. batis, common, much more so than 

 the preceding. 



NocTu^. — Bryophila muralis, seven imagines and about five 

 more seen on rocks by the sea, Courtmacsherry. Pupae were 

 found in cocoons between plants of Armeria and the rock 

 adjoining. All the specimens procured were of a greyish-green 

 colour, no marked variation; the var. impar not found. B. perla: 

 Mr. Kane says this species is common and widely distributed, 

 but we have secured only a single specimen this year at T. Close 

 examination of old walls in the neighbourhood has proved un- 

 successful in discovering any more. Demas corijli; scarce, T. ; 

 several, G. ; one, C. (an especially large and dark-coloured male). 

 Acronycta psi, scarce, T. ; few at Glandore, near Bandon and C. 

 A. aceris, there is a mistake in Mr. Kane's list about my (C. D.) 

 procuring pupae of this insect at Glandore ; the pupae alluded to 

 produced M. hrassicce ; I have, however, seen the conspicuous 

 larvae there, so the entry may stand. A. rumicis, common ; the 

 var. salicis is found commonly with the type. A. eapliorhice, 

 larvae common in 1901 on Plantago maritima growing on rocks by 

 the sea, C, in the months of June and July, The imagines 

 emerged from these larvae in August ; this late emergence is 

 most unusual in the British Islands. A single larva at Gougane 

 Barra in July on Salix cinerea ; this was unfortunately ichneu- 

 moned. Leucania co)iigera, common. L. vitellina, one specimen 

 at sugar, Sept. 11th, 1901, at Courtmacsherry ; the insect has 

 been seen by Messrs. Barrett and Kane. L. Utkargyria, common, 

 L. unipuncta {extranea), one in September, 1896, T., seen by 

 Mr. Kane ; another in the same month this year, C, seen by 

 Messrs. Barrett and Kane. L. littoralis, one, G. L. comma, 

 common. L. straminea, a single specimen near C. L. pallens, 

 common. L. impur a, coiairaon. Tapinostola fulva, one specimen, 

 1897, T. Nonagria sparganii, common in half a dozen marshes 

 between the Old Head of Kinsale and Glandore. Young larvae 

 in Iris, older in Sparganium, and sometimes in Typha latifolia ; 

 pupae invariably in the two latter plants, never in Iris, as far as 

 our present experience goes. One pupa in dead stem of Arundo 

 phragmites. N. arimdinis, common wherever the food- plant 

 exists. Ilydrcccia nictitans, common and very variable. H. mi- 

 cacea, not common, T. ; common, G. and C. Axylia jmtns, 

 fairly common. Xylophasia rurea, fairly common. X. litJioxylea, 

 common. X. sublastris, one specimen, C. X. monoglypha, 

 abundant and variable. Laphygma exigua, one imago at honey- 

 dew on lime, Sept. 8th, 1899, T. Neuria reticulata, three, G. ; 

 two, C. Neuroma pojyidaris, common, T. and C. ; several, G. 

 Charceas graminis, common in some years, G. and T. Luperina 

 testacea, common. L. cespitis, scarce, T. ; several, C. ; a few 

 almost black in colouration. Mamestra farva, a couple, C. and
