Trichorhina tomentosa (Budde-Lund). 

 This Venezuelan species was discovered in warm greenhouses 

 in Botanic Gardens, Belfast. In England it has been found in 

 Kew Gardens and in a Hertfordshire greenhouse, and also in a 

 like situation in Paris. A resident of a tropical climate, it is not 

 likely that it will ever become aclimatised in our country. 



Haplophthalmus mengii (Zaddach). 

 Originally found in the British Islands in Co. Clare, this 

 beautiful little species now proves to be widely distributed in 

 Ireland. The Ulster localities in which it has been found are 

 Bundoran and Ballyshannon, Donegal E. ; Doe Castle, Donegal 

 W. ; Loughgall and Poyntzpass, Armagh ; Bel voir Park, Drumbo 

 Glen, Cultra, Corry's Glen (Hillsborough), and Mountstewart 

 Demesne, Down; Ballycastle, Whitepark Bay, Murlough Bay, 

 Templepatrick and Cushendall, Antrim ; and Castlerock, London- 

 derry. It is usually observed in scant numbers, but at Murlough 

 Bay a fairly large colony was noted, and in Drumbo Glen {fide 

 A. W. Stelfox) it is abundant if searched for late in the evening. 

 It is probable that during the day this species buries itself in the 

 earth and chiefly comes up to the under surface of deeply 

 embedded stones (its usual habitat) in the evening. The same 

 has been observed in Co. Sligo. 



Haplophthalmus danicus Budde-Lund. 

 There is only one Ulster record for this species, viz., Magee's 

 Nursery, Knock, Co. Down. Here, as elsewhere in Ireland, it was 

 found in a greenhouse and must be regarded as an exotic species. 



Philoscia muscorum (Scopoli). 

 This is one of the four species which are common all over 

 Ireland, but seemingly it is not so numerous in any locality as the 

 other three, viz., Trichoniscus pusi//us, Oniscus asetlus and Porcdlio 

 scaber. Specimens bright yellow or bright red in colour are not 

 infrequently found.
