152 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Limner ia hygropota, Holmgr. 9 



Limneria (Angitia)fenestralis, Holmgr. $ and $ . 



A single Proctotrypid J has been determined by Mr. Chitty to 

 be a Zygota, Forster, but its identity with any described species is 

 still uncertain. 



With the exception of Alomyia debellator, these ichneumons 

 were captured by sweeping in various parts of the island, but 

 particularly in a little marshy spot at the foot of Avon Mhor. Here 

 probably B. dorsalis, and B. graculus occurred. 



LEPIDOPTERA. 



At first some collecting was done in this order, but latterly it 

 proved impossible to give it any attention. The few species detailed 

 are therefore in no sense representative. 



Vanessa urticcc, L. One seen near village. 



Vanessa carditi, L. 1 August 8, 1905, one on lower slope, Oisaval, 

 in fine condition. 



Any butterflies in St. Kilda must, I think, be stragglers ; occas- 

 ionally one or more of our three common Pierids must visit or breed 

 on the island, for a native had seen white butterflies. John Mac- 

 Gillivray (" Edin. New Phil. Jour.," xxxiii. 1842, pp. 47-70) met 

 with Ccenonympha pamphilus. He also records Charaas graminis 

 and Plusia gamma. 



Monima incerta, Hum. $ a dark form of this widely spread 

 species. 



Scoparia sp., possibly alpina Stt. But too worn for exact identifi- 

 cation. 



Eucosma Schulziana, F. Widely distributed and not uncommon. 

 Elachista albifrontella. Hb. 



Endrosis lacteella, Schiff. For this and the preceding three names I 

 am indebted to Mr. South. 



Hepiahts ve/leda, Hb. Common and variable, var. gallicits, Led. - 

 In some numbers. Both forms from the cultivated area and 

 round village Bay. 



HEMIPTERA HETEROPTERA. 



Velia currens, Fab. Apterous form only. In stream flowing 

 through the Glen. 



1 Seen again by myself on Conacher, iyth June 1906.
