Extremely local. Mr. S. Stevens records the capture of six 

 examples on the 29th of May in a marshy place on the banks of 

 Lough Derg, about six miles from Killaloe. Several specimens were 

 taken near Kenmare in the month of July. Abroad this species has a 

 wide range, being spread over northern and central Europe, the Mediter- 

 ranean region, and Siberia ; but it is very rare in England, occurring 

 only in a few localities in the east, as far north as Yorkshire.
