NOtES ON THE SYNONYMY OF NOCTUID MOTHS. 121 



Aegynnis LA.TONIA, L.— One specimen "seen on the wing" by 

 Mr. Birchall at Killarney, " in the lane leading from Mucross to 

 Mangerton, near a limestone quarry on the left of the road, 

 August 10th, 1864" (E. M. Mag. i. 109). 



Argynnis aglaia, L. — Widely distributed round the coast. I 

 only know of its capture inland at a few localities in the Cos. 

 Cork and Galway. In the North, on the coast near Derry 

 {W. E. H.) ; abundant (C). In Antrim and Down, at Portbal- 

 liutrae, Portrush, and Dundrum [Biv.). Co. Wicklow, Bray 

 Head, and Greystones. In the South, Westwood Eosscarbery 

 (D.) ; Cork, abundant {Holt) ; Bandon, very abundant (L.) ; 

 Desertserges, twelve miles inland (L.) ; near Kenmare {Miss V.). 

 Co. Galway, at Ardrahan, &c. {Miss N.). 



Argynnis adippe, L. — A few taken in Co. Galway in 1887 

 {R. E. D.). 



Argynnis paphia, L. — " Very abundant at Killarney and the 

 County of Wicklow" {B.). Is found in almost all the wooded 

 districts of Ireland that I have visited, and frequently in con- 

 siderable numbers. Irish specimens are large and brilliant in 

 colour, and I have noticed no remarkable varieties. In the 

 fulvous subcostal space near the apex of fore wing, usually devoid 

 of any marking, there is occasionally a suggestion of the dark 

 blotch presented by the female. Abundant in the wooded 

 peninsula of Ards, m the extreme North of Donegal (C), and 

 Cioghan near Stranorlar. At Derry {W. E. H.). Favour Koyal, 

 Co. Tyrone ; Farnham, Co. Cavan ; Westmeath, at Cromlyn 

 {Mrs. B.) ; and generally in the Co. Cork {Holt) ; Bandon, very 

 abundant (L.). New Boss, Wexford {B.-H.), Sligo, Buss, and 

 Markree. In the Cos. Fermanagh and Dublin, &c.
