NOTES ON THE SCOTTISH SPECIES OF THE 

 GENUS HEMEROBWS. 



By KENNETH J. MORTON, F.E.S. 



IN recent numbers of the " Entomologist's Monthly Magazine " 

 (commencing with that for April 1899), Mr. M'Lachlan has 

 published notes which will form, when completed, practically 

 a revision of the Palaearctic species of the genus Hemerobius. 

 A reference was made to two of the papers in the July 

 (1899) number of the "Annals," but a further notice of the 

 subject may be useful, because important changes have been 

 made in the nomenclature. Several species have not been 

 elucidated satisfactorily hitherto, and, in consequence, con- 

 siderable confusion exists in the Scottish records. 



The members of the genus in question are widespread, 

 and the greater number of the Palaearctic species are found 

 in Scotland. Some of them extend to North America a 

 fact that may yet prove a disturbing element as regards 

 names.
