In damp moss ; faii'ly common. 



P. dresdensis, Herbst. 

 Ulstee. 



Armagh ('92 J. 1; '94 J. 1). 



In wet moss and flood refuse. It has only occiu'red at Armagh 

 where Mr. Johnson took it in three different localities, but he obtained 

 the greatest number in flood rubbish in MuUinure. It is extremely 

 sluggish, and from its superficial resemblance to P. Seisei might easily 

 be overlooked. It inhabits very wet moss and appears to exist in the 

 imago for only a short time, as it occurred abundantly in Januaiy, but 

 in the following month it was not to be found, though the same con- 

 ditions were present. Extremely rare in Grreat Britain where it has 

 been recorded from a few localities in the eastern parts of England as 

 far north as the Tweed district. Abroad it is found in Scandinavia, 

 northern and central Eui'ope, and in the north of France.
