SIRICINI. 



Sirex gigas L. — Armagh, Loughgall, Keady, Glenanne, Poyntzpass, 

 Caledon, Banbridge, Newry, and Tempo, July, August, September. 

 Specimens vary in length from i8 to 35 mm. These have been met 

 with in very varied situations ; at Armagh one was taken in a grocer's 

 shop and another in a timber yard, at Caledon it was found on Larch, 

 and at Newry it flew into a private house ; here I took a very small 

 one sitting outside my bedroom window, and caught another larger 

 one flying round Cupressus lawsoniana. I have never met with the 

 male, but Sir Charles Langham obtained several males from Silver 

 Fir, these emerged in August.
