The Irish Naturalist. 



June, 



Fam. IV.— CYTHERID^. 



Geuus I. — Metacypris, Brady and Robertson. 



IVICtacypris cordata, Brady and Robertson.— This interesting fresli- 

 water species has been taken by B. and R. in Coolbareen Ivough, Co. 

 Mayo, and lyough Aubwee, Galway. 



Genus 2.— Cythere, O. F. Miiller. 



Cythere lutea, O. F. MuUer. — Bantry, Valentia, Bally vaughan, in Co. 

 Clare, Aran, Clew Bay (A. M. N.)'; Birturbuy and Dublin Bays 

 (B. & R.) ; Antrim coast and Belfast Lough (S. M. M.) 

 C. cyamos, Norman. 



1865. Cythere viridis, G. O. Sars — Oversigt af Norges Marine Ostracoden. 



Vid, Selsk. Forhand, p. 30. 

 1868. Cythere viridis, G. S. Brady. — Mon. rec. Brit. Ostrac, Trans. Linn. 

 Soc, vol. XX vi., p. 7397, P^- xxviii., figs. 40-41, and 57-59, 

 pi. xxxviii., fig. 8. 

 I had for some time thought that this was the yonng of C. hitea, and 

 it is true that the young of the latter species is very like C. cyamos^ yet it 

 has not quite the same form. Sars referred this species to the Cythere 

 viridis of Miiller, but I regard Miiller's species as that which Prof. Brady 

 used to name Loxoconcha elliptica. 



Newcastle, Co. Down (Brady) ; Berehaven, 4 fathoms (S. M. M.). 

 C. confusa, Brady & Norman. — Bantry, Valentia Harbour, Dingle 

 Bay, Aran, Clew Bay, Ivough Foyle, Strangford' Lough (A. M. N.) ; 

 Dublin, Clifden, and Birturbuy Bays (B. & R.) ; Berehaven and Bel- 

 fast Lough (S. M. M.). This is C. pelbmda of Brady's monograph. 

 I do not quote localities given in that work, as at the time when it 

 was published several species were confused with this.
