[P. astidus, Er. — Canon Fowler writes as follows of this insect — 

 a somewhat doubtful native : — " M. Fauvel kindly sent me a specimen 

 of this insect, which he had found in the collection of M. Javet, 

 ticketed ' Heland.' As M. Javet collected for some time in Ii'eland, 

 especially in the neighbourhood of Belfast, and as the insect is by no 

 means an unlikely one to occur in the locality, M. Fauvel thinks that 

 the species is probably British. M. Javet may possibly have made a 

 mistake and more evidence will, perhaps, be required before it is 

 inserted on the British list, but the fact is worth recording as Irish 

 collectors may possibly confirm the capture " ('83 F. 1). Eecorded by 

 Ganglbauer as a rare species in central Em-ope, Caucasus, and Siberia.]
