THE INSECT FAUNA OF GROUSE MOORS 153 



TIPULA VARIPENNIS, Mg. Of this common species several examples 



were taken on the moor at Dunachton. 

 TIPULA ? PRUINOSA, W. Two males, which I believe belong to this 



species, were taken at Dunachton. 

 TIPULA MONTIUM, Egg. Two males taken at Dunachton. The 



occurrence of this species in Britain was first confirmed by 



Henderson (" Ent. Mo. Mag.") in 1901, who took it in the 



Clyde district. 

 TIPULA OLERACEA, L. The commonest and best known of the 



Tipulidae, and popularly called " Daddy Longlegs." Taken on 



the moors in Yorkshire, but not noticed on the northern hills, 



though doubtless it occurs in plenty. 



Family TABANID/E. 



THERIOPLECTES MONTANUS, Mg. One female captured on the 

 moors above Carr Bridge. 



Family LEPTIM). 

 LEPTIS SCOLOPACEA, L. One male taken at Ballindalloch. 



PTIOLINA ATRA, Staeg. One male, Dunachton. This species was 

 only added to the British List in 1904. 



Family THEREVID/E. 



THEREVA PLEBEIA, L. A single female taken on the moors above 

 Carr Bridge. 



*Family EMPID^. 



This family is represented on the moors by several species of 

 common occurrence, especially in the sheltered and marshy hollows 

 near the streams. Cyrtoma spuria, one of the smallest species, was 

 found in many of the crops from Dunachton, and was also found, 

 by sweeping, to be very plentiful. 



HYBOS FEMORATUS, Mull. Several taken at Ballindalloch and 

 Carr Bridge. 



* CYRTOMA SPURIA, Fin. Abundant on the moors at Dunachton, 

 Ballindalloch, and Carr Bridge. Remains found in eight of the 

 crops obtained at Dunachton and also in that from Glen 

 Eunnich. 



*RHAMPHOMYIA SULCATA, Fin. A large, conspicuous, and abundant 

 species, taken at Dunachton and Ballindalloch ; fragments 

 found in a crop from the former locality probably represent this 

 species. 



RHAMPHOMYIA ALBOSEGMENTATA, Ztt. Also common and con- 

 spicuous. Many examples obtained at Dunachton and one 

 female at Ballindalloch.
