266. 4/8/39, cont. Landenstown and W. of Sallins, KD. cont. 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. Aspilota rufata ♀, 16-seg. ant. at 3. A. (Synaldis) concolor? 1♀, 16-seg. ant. at 4. Dacnusa talaris 1♂ at 3. D. elegans 1♀ at 4. D. longiradialis 1♀ at 3. D. esbelta 1♀ at 4. Praon volucre 2 fine ♀♀ at 4, with 19 & 20-seg. ant. respectively: absolutely agreeing with Haliday's description. Aphidius dissolutus Hal. A very nice ♀ at 3, 16-seg. ant. Proctos. 2 at 1 or 2; 10 at 3, 1 at 4. = Exallonyx confusus? 1♀ at 3. Cynipid at 3 = Brachypterous Dipteron at 1 or 2 = 267. 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 ♀.
