NOTES ON THE LIST. 



Acanthosorua haeniorrhoidale L. — i Found at Sraheens Lough on Aehill 



A. dentatum De Gr. — * Island in June (W. F. Johnson). Both 



are widely distributed insects in the southern parts of Great Britain. 



Piesma quadrata Fieb. — Westport district, under stones, and by sweeping on 

 the sea-shore, July. 



Orthostira brunnea Germ. — Westport district ; found frequently in moss while 

 searching for Acari ; also sent in moss from Leenane in April. 



0. cervina Germ. — A few specimens found in moss sent from Clare Island in 

 June. Has been recorded from Armagh and Waterford, and there is an 

 example in the collection of the late C. W. Buckle taken at Portmore 

 Lough in the Lough Neagh district. 



Microvelia pygmaea Duf. — Lakes south of Louisburgh, and probably over- 

 looked in other places. Widely spread hi Ireland from Dublin and 

 Armagh to Kerry and Donegal. 



Velia currens Fab. — Clare Island, Aehill, and Westport district, apterous 

 form only. The rare winged form of this species may be met with in 

 restricted spots year after year in company with the undeveloped form — 

 as in the shallow bed of the Eiver Dodder at the foot of the Dublin hills. 

 Mr. Buckle found it at Shane's Castle, Lough Neagh, in the autumn 

 months. 



Aepophilus Bonnairei Sig. — An adult specimen of this very local insect was 

 found between tide -marks, at Elly Bay, Blacksod, during September, 

 1909, by Mr. S. W. Kemp, who has kindly presented it to the National 

 Museum. 



Xi ii is this the only western locality in which it has occurred. While 

 studying the littoral fauna of County Galway some years ago, 

 Mr. W. M. Tattersall found adult examples of Aepophilus at Ballinakill 1 

 (March), and also at Tawin, a peninsula quite close to Ardfry (February, 

 1909). At both places it was found between tide-marks in the cavities 



1 Mr. TaUersall tells me that the exact locality is Green Rocks at the entrance to Fahy Bay, 

 Ballinakill. These consist of a small group of isolated rocks which are covered by the sea at high 

 tide.
