Locally common in the south and Tvest, but of rare occurrence in 

 the east. On Inishmore in Galway Bay a gi'eater number of specimens 

 were taken than in any other locality in Ireland. The species is 

 common in the south of Britain, becoming rare towards the north ; 

 and in Scotland it would seem t,o be largely replaced by the allied 

 species C. floricola, Herbst. We have no record of the occui'rence of 

 the latter in Ireland.
