Extremely local. This pretty water-beetle was described as a new 

 species {S. trifasciatus — '46 W.) from specimens taken in the Biver 

 Lee by Mr. Clear. Wollaston, in a more recent note, expresses doubt a 

 to the origin of Mr. Clear's specimens ('69 W. 1). Judging, however, 

 by the above records, it is certain to occur in many more localities, at 

 least in the south of Ireland. In England it has only been found in 

 Devonshire, and abroad it is recorded from south-western Europe, the 

 Mediterranean region, and the Canaries.
