13.ii.35

Dear Stelfox,
Your box arrived by last post yesterday, so that I was only able to look through them in a low light at 5 p.m., but I made them out correctly so far as I can see after a careful examination this morning.
Crosswise left to right as they now stand they are:
1st row. [[underlined]] Nomada rufipes [[/underlined]] [[insertion]] Sheen R. Co. SK. AWS. 17.7.34. [[/insertion]] ordinary black [[female symbol]] I took one [[female symbol]] half this size only last year - the smallest I ever saw! [[underlined]] Crabro [[/underlined]] (pubescens) [[underlined]] nigrita [[/underlined]]. [[insertion]] Sheen R. Co. SK. AWS. 17.7.34. [[male symbol]] [[/insertion]]
(Kohl doubted whether the old name [[underlined]] nigrita [[/underlined]] really referred to this species, but I think it does) [[underlined]] Selandria morio. [[/underlined]] [[insertion]] n. Nakirka Co. SK. AWS. 8.7.34. [[male symbol]] [[/insertion]] [[underlined]] Scolioneura betuleti [[/underlined]] [[insertion]] Blackstones, Co. SK. AWS. 11.7.34. [[/insertion]] Kl (betulae Zadd. & betuleti Kl. I do not distinguish as they seem only to differ in the colour of wings: 'blackish infuscate' & 'light grey infuscate'. Too subtle for me as a specific character! [[insertion]] & I forget which name has priority. [[/insertion]]
2nd row. Pamphilius pallipes [[female symbol]] var. [[insertion]] Annagh L. Belturbet Co. CV. R.C. Faris 7.6.34. [[/insertion]] Pteronidia segmentaria [[insertion]] Window. [[A.?]] Farrinseer, Co. CV. R.C. Faris. 22.6.34. [[/insertion]] Pristiphora pallipes [[female symbol]]. [[insertion]] Harold's X Co. DU. AWS. 16.8.34. [[/insertion]]
3rd row. Poecilostoma (Empria) abdominalis, -
 [[insertion]] Abbey Isl. Darrynane, Co. SK. AWS. 21.7.34. P.M. [[/insertion]] Emphytus carpini [[male symbol]]. - [[insertion]] Darrynane Co. SK. AWS. 16.7.34 [[/insertion]]
