May, 
Plusia festucae L. — I kicked up a specimen of this pretty moth in some 
boggy ground near Derricunnihy, on July ist, 1915. 
Plusia interrogationis L. — I took a fine specimen flying over heather near 
Muckross on July yth, 1913. 
r These three little moths, so characteristic of 
Erastria fasclana L. the fauna of Killarney, occurred on the 
Bankia argentula Hb. \ boggy ground bordering the Long Range, 
Hydrelia uncula Clerck but only the first-mentioned was really 
common. 
Bomolocha fontis Thnb. — A specimen was attracted to the lamp in July, 
1913. One or two were beaten out of nut-trees near Muckross in June, 
1915- 
Venilia macularia L.— A couple of examples were seen on June loth, 1915, 
on the west side of L. Guitane, at the foot of Mangerton. 
Angeronia prunaria L. — A specimen captured on heathery ground near 
Muckross on July 7th, 1913. 
Ellopia prosapiaria L, — A female specimen came to light on July 15th, 
1913- 
Boartnia repandata L. var. — I took a remarkable banded form of this 
species on June 30th, 1913, at dusk on the road which leads from 
Muckross to Mangerton. The specimen, a male, is very similar to the 
handsome variety figured in South's " Moths of the British Isles," second 
series, pi. 134, fig. 8. The dark band is, however, narrower, which gives 
the moth a much paler aspect. 
*Hyria muricata Hufn. — A specimen of this pretty little moth was netted 
on the boggy ground near the Long Range. 
Panagra (Lozogramma) petraria Hb. — A few examples of this local species 
occurred in Muckross demesne in June, 1915. 
'*'Bupalus piniaria L. — One in Muckross demesne fluttering round a large 
Silver Fir was netted on June 2nd, and a second a lew days later near 
Tore waterfall. Both were males and in good condition. 
Abraxas sylvata Scop. — One beaten out of a nut-tree on June 20th, 1915. 
*Camptogramma fluviata Hb. — A female specimen was attracted by the 
lamp on July 31st, 1913. 
*NomophiIa noctuelia Schifi. — This species came freely to light in July, 
1913. I did not meet with it in 1915. 
*Craiiibus inquinatellus Schiff. — One specimen in July, 1915. 
The species with an asterisk prefixed are, I believe, new 
records for Kerry.
