Donegal and Derry (Foyle dist., '00 B.).— Dublin (shore near 

 Dollymount, '00 Ht. 1 & 3). 



Yery local. Mr. Buckle found this interesting species, commonly 

 on " grassy mounds, slightly above high-water mark at mouth of 

 mountain rivers." On the Dublin coast, it is extremely local, 

 occurring under stones and sea- weed close to the shore. This species 

 was first described from the Scotch coast, but Dr. Sharp informs us 

 that it has since been found in various localities in England, and on 

 the Continent. It appears in the month of May, and would seem to 

 be strictly an estuary insect.
