24 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Cairngorm, Glenmore Forest, in June 1895. Hitherto this 

 species has been referred to under the name of C. rufibarbis, 

 Mg., but as Meigen's description of auribarbis was printed 

 on an earlier page in his " Systematische Beschreibung " 

 than that of rnfibarbis, both being now regarded as the same 

 species, the name here used must in future serve as the 

 correct designation. I am indebted to Mr. Ernest E. Austen, 

 of the British Museum, for drawing my attention to this 

 point. 



Family TACHINIDJE. 



76. HYALOMYIA PUSILLA, Mg. Male and female, Nethy Bridge, 



August 1898 (Yerbury). 



77. ECHINOMYIA GROSSA, L. Nethy Bridge, August 1898 (Yer- 



bury).

Aviemore, July 1898 (Yerbury); Nethy Bridge, August 



1898 (Yerbury). 



79. MICROPALPUS VULPINUS, Fin. Rothiemurchus, June-July 1895 



(Hinxman) ; Kingussie, July 1898 (Yerbury) ; Aviemore, July 

 .1898 (Yerbury); Nethy Bridge, August 1898 (Yerbury); 

 Kingussie, July 1899 (Yerbury); Aviemore, July 1899

80. MICROPALPUS PUDICUS, Rond. Two males and two females, 



Kingussie, July 1898 (Yerbury); three males and three 

 females, Aviemore, July 1898 (Yerbury); seven males and 

 seven females, Nethy Bridge, August 1898 (Yerbury); one 

 male, Kingussie, July 1899 (Yerbury) ; seven males and two 

 females, Aviemore, July 1899 (Yerbury). I have followed 

 Austen ("Ent. Mo. Mag.," 1898, pp. 36-38) in referring this 

 handsome species to pudicus, Rond. Whether Fallen's 

 htzmorrhoidalis is the same species seems to be still open to 

 doubt if it is, then Rondani's name must be sunk as a 

 synonym. At present it seems safer to call the insect pudicus, 

 always bearing in mind that even its generic position may 

 be called in question. For further particulars the note by 

 Austen (I.e.] should be consulted
