Phaenocarpa eugenia  1 fine ♂ I think at 1, if not then at 2, labelled 18/3/41!  This has 54-seg. ant.
"Phaenocarpa" (?)  ♂ with stigma-like vein at lower margin of upper wing, identical with ♂ taken at Glending, KD., on 15/9/38, & therefore not a freak;  taken by canal at 4.  See also 23.8.39 p.292. = Phaenocarpa (Rhopaloneura) nimia mike.  Proc. R.I.A. 47B1, 1941.

4.8.39.  Collected by E. O'Mahony in "St. Anne's", Clontarf, Cublin, about 8.30 P.M. Summer Time.

Rhogas irregularis  1♀.
Apanteles sp. ♂ (not kept)

Blacus [[strikethrough]] tripudians [[/strikethrough]] ruficornis seen dancing in the sunlight in plantation.  Seven taken "with one sweep of the net" proved to comprise 5♂♂ & 2♀♀, thus suggesting that ♀♀, as well as ♂♂, take part in the "dance" & not ♂♂ only as stated by Haliday & Marshall.  I regret that these were not critically examined until 18/2/1942, when labelling & then proved to belong to ruficornis, although recorded by me as tripudians ♂♂ in Proc. R.I.A., 46, B, 9, 1941.

Cteniscus sp.?  ♂, red abd., black hind femora.
Homocidus obscuripes:  a very small black ♀.
