Hemerobius, to ■which genus it is related." Curtis figures this larva, and 

 remarks that it is rosy, with a large black patch on the back, and large 

 white spots down each side. (See Curtis, British Entomology, xL, plate 

 528. 1834). 



Distribution. — Occurs in Great Britain from Devonshire to Inverness at 

 least. According to Enderlein it is widely distributed in Europe, ranging

Very local, and probably confined to the south. 



The first Irish specimens of this common European " Scorpion Fly " 

 were discovered by Mr. R Standen at these localities in Jidy, 1907. A male 

 example taken at Toughal approaches the immaculate variety, e.xcept for a 

 small spot on the front margin of each of the wings, and an extremely narrow 

 dark margin at the tip of the anterior pair (var. apicalis Steph.). On the 

 contrar)', in a female specimen found at Blarney, the spots are well 

 developed and tend to form continuous bands across the wings, much as in 

 Panorpa communis. 



Distribution. — Occurs in most parts of Great Britain, ranging from 

 Devonshire to Sutherland. Northern and central Europe.
