List of specimens sent to Dr. Roman Nov. 1931
[continued from vol. 3, p. 106] with his remarks.
Serial No. [[blank space]] [NB. specimens kept by Dr. Roman marked thus x]
118. [[underlined]] Stenomacrus compressus [[/underlined]] Thoms. ? [[female symbol]] in Haliday Coll. "I doubt if this is [[underlined]] compressus [[/underlined]] as the basal flagellar joints are not "[[fast?]] breites als lang" A.R.
[In my specimen taken in Powerscourt demesne on 21.10.31 the first joint of flagellum in only a little longer than broad & much shorter than 2nd & 3rd which are obviously elongate! A.W.S.]

119. [[underlined]] Homotropus brevicornis [[/underlined]] Thoms. [[female symbol]]. "Seems correct from the description : your specimen has 19 - jointed flagellum? A.R. = [[underlined]] "crassicornis" [[/underlined]] Thoms.
119 from Clara, WI. 27.7.27.
X 120. [[underlined]] H. brevicornis [[/underlined]] Thoms. [[male symbol]]. Probably correct. I have seen a [[male symbol]] from Moravia. Thomson's earlier name (p. 1490) is [[underlined]] crassicornis [[/underlined]]; [[underlined]] brevicornis [[/underlined]] seems to have been due to a slip of his memory." A.R.
120 from Coan, Glen Imaal, WI. 28.6.31.
121. H. sp.? [[female symbol]]. Runs to  [[underlined]] pictus [[/underlined]] but much larger than what I know as [[underlined]] pictus [[/underlined]]. Could it be [[underlined]] incisus [[/underlined]] Thoms.? Note clypeus! "Seems to be [[underlined]] incisus [[/underlined]] (unknown

to me), but the kind tibiae are much paler than the deser. says AR.
121 from up. Glenasmole, DU. 16.6.29.
122. [[underlined]] H [[/underlined]]. sp. ? [[female symbol]]. Cf. [[male symbol]] of [[underlined]] rubiginosus [[/underlined]] Schmied.! "= [[underlined]] H. crassicrus [[/underlined]] Thoms. ( [[underlined]] fissorius [[/underlined]] Holgrss. non Grav.). Certainly, I have compared it with a [[female symbol]] of [[underlined]] fissorius [[/underlined]] Holmgrss." A.R.
122. from Rathdrum, WI 8.7.26.
[[side note]] I doubt this decision! A.W.S. [[/side note]]

X 123. [[underlined]] H. [[/underlined]] sp. [[male symbol]]. I think this is a dark form of [[underlined]] pulcher [[/underlined]] though it is like a small [[udnerlined]] tassatorius [[/underlined]] in some ways. Very common, while typical [[underlined]] pulcher [[/underlined]] [[male symbol]] is rare.
"Is [[underlined]] tassatorius [[/underlined]] Pr. var. In the museum we have Lapland [[2 male symbols]] just like yours. Irish specimens of many species are as dark as our Northern ones.
H. pulcher [[male symbols]] & [[female symbol]] has the sides of the seutellum pale types! & description of Holmgrss. & Thoms. says "[[underlined]] forte [[/underlined]]" A.R.
123 from Sallins, KD. 17.9.30.
[[side note]] I quite disagree with Roman on this point. This is [[underlined]] not [[/underlined]] the [[male symbol]] of true [[underlined]] tarsatorius [[/underlined]]! A.W.S. [[/side note]]
X 124. [[underlined]] H. alpinus [[/underlined]] [[male symbol]]. The [[female symbol]] has very compressed apex of abdomen! On this day I took a long series of [[2 male symbols]] flying to a branch of a 'Douglas Fir', but only one [[female symbol]] (which is too precious to risk in the post.)
"Seems correct from the description. I only know the [[female symbol]]" A.R. 
124 from Powerscourt (4), WI. 16.5.29.
