It is a very rare visitor to Ireland, and although not obtained at any light station the following records may be of interest:-- November 27th, one at Kilkeel, Co. Down. A second near Newry, Co. Down, about same date. A third at Glasslough, Co. Monaghan (see _Zoologist_, 1887, p. 75). A fourth at Newcastle, Co. Wicklow, in February 1887. This species is also recorded from Northumberland on 18th and 20th October. * * * * * Transcriber Note Minor typos corrected. Possible variant spellings of Genera and Species mostly left as printed.
