THE INSECT FAUNA OF GROUSE MOORS 159 



LOCHM^A SUTURALIS, Thorns. One female, Dunachton. This is 

 the so-called " Heather Beetle," and although only one 

 specimen was taken during my collecting trip, yet from other 

 evidence (see my special Report on this insect) it is obvious 

 that it is generally distributed in Scotland, and only too 

 abundant on many of the moors. 



HALTICA ERICETI, AIL One, Dunachton. 



"Family CURCULIONID/E (Weevils). 



"Remains of an undetermined Weevil occurred in a crop from 

 Dunachton." 



^STROPHOSOMUS LATERALIS, Payk. Remains of this species were 

 found in two crops from Tulchan. 



'THYLLOBius MACULICORNIS, Germ. One, Dunachton. 

 LIMNOBARIS T-ALBUM, L. One, Dunachton. 



*ORDER LEPIDOPTERA (Butterflies and Moths). 



The only Lepidopterous remains found in the crops I examined 

 were those of an undetermined Tineid Moth. The occurrence is 

 apparently of no importance. 



Family NYMPHALID^. 



ARGYNNIS EUPHROSYNE, L. This Fritillary is no doubt often seen 

 flying over the heather in most parts of Scotland. One 

 example was caught at Dunachton and others seen. 



CCENONYMPHA DAVUS, F. Also a common moor-loving species. 

 One specimen taken at Ballindalloch. 



FIDONIA ATOMARIA, L. The "Heath" Moth, very abundant on 

 the moors, especially at Dunachton, where I obtained twenty- 

 seven specimens. 



EUPITHECIA, sp. Three specimens of a " Pug" taken at Dunachton 

 but too much rubbed for identification. 



PYRAUSTA OSTRINALIS, Hb. Four, Dunachton. 

 CNEPHASIA MUSCULANA, Hb. One, Dunachton. 



PHOXOPTERYX UNGUICELLA, L. Nine, Dunachton ; one, Ballin- 

 dalloch. 



GELECHIA ERICETELLA, Hb. Two, Dunachton. 

 ARGYRESTHIA GCEDARTELLA, L. One on wall at Ballindalloch.
