Addi.tio7is to the Leindnptera of Ireland. — Tlie following 13 species have been 
observed in Ireland sinoo the complotiou of my list in this Magazine for Januaiy, 
1867. 
Several of the species have already been noticed separately ; but I think it 
will bo convenient to publish a complete list of the additions made during 1867.

Co. Westmeath, has also bred specimens exactly corresponding with the B. quercAs 
of Southern England.

Epliippiphora totragonana — Howth, Mr. Barrett. — Edwin Bieciiall, Airedale Cliff, 
Leeds, March 9t\ 1868. 
Early occurrence of Hydradephaga. — The following list of water-beetles, taken 
by me on the 18th inst., appears to me rather curious ; whether as shewing that 
the present season is very forward, or that they come out of their winter quarters 
sooner than I have hitherto supposed : Colymbctes exoletus and Qrapi; Ilyhius guttiger 
and sex-dentatas ; Agahus agilis, uliginosiis, and abhreviatus ; Noterus semipmictatus ; 
Jlydroporus decoratus, dorsalis, erythrocephalus, riififrons, planus, nitidus, angustatus, 
lanbrosus, Scalesianus, palustris, lineatiis and granularis. 
I have not met with H. nitidus (oblongus) for two or three years ; and I only 
got six examples in several hours woi'kings, and but one solitary H. Scalesianus. 
I suppose it is true that If. nitidus is a very early insect, but T am surprised to find 
so many others equally early. — W. Hey, Clifton, York ; March, 1868. 
Occurrence of Agahus Solieri near Dumfries and Clova. — Last year I captured 
a single female specimen of Agahus Solieri near Dumfries, at an elevation of over 
1800 feet. Two Agahi were taken, one of which was A. bipustulatus. The water 
was only about three yards long, and full of weeds. In August, 1865, 1 also took 
a single ? of A. Solieri near Loch Brandy, Clova. — W. R.McNau, Southern Counties 
Asylum, Dumfries, 7th April, 1868. 
Note on a nevj British Rydroporus. — Amongst some Coleoptera taken on a moor 
near Lauercost, Cumberland, I have found a male specimen of Ilydroporus
