The Irish Naturalist, 



January 



pus ilium was given as an addition whereas it is only an 

 alteration of the name and is the same as that standing in 

 the Irish List as evanescens. 



Of the seventy-seven species taken that are not recorded 

 from Kerry in the Irish List twenty-nine have been since 

 recorded chiefly by Mr. Bullock, and the remaining forty- 

 eight given in the following list are, I believe, new records 

 for the County — those marked with an asterisk being new 

 for Munster. All are from Killarney unless otherwise 

 indicated.

 observed in Irish Coleoptera, I may mention that black, or 

 nearly ])la( k, specimens of the following species were taken: 

 Carahus ^ranulatus, Notiophilus aquaticus, Ptcrostichus 

 versicolor, Anchomcnus paruvipunctatus, Homalota vicina, 

 Aphodius luridus, Donacia discolor and Phyllodecta vulga- 

 tissima.
