30 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



396. LIPOPTENA CERVI, L. $ , Aberfoyle, nth September 1897 



(Wm. Evans). 



397. MELOPHAGUS OVINUS, L,--\^Hippoboscd\ Neighbourhood of 



Edinburgh Stewart, i, p. 577; obtained from butcher in 

 Edinburgh, iyth May 1895 (P. H. G.) ; Glencorse, July 

 1903 (James Waterston) ; Bonally, June 1899 (Wm. Evans). 



The three following names occur in Stewart's List for the 

 " neighbourhood of Edinburgh " (i, p. 576), but I have not been able 

 to discover to what species they should be assigned : Tipula minut- 

 issi/na, Tipula vernans, and Miisca semi-argentata. 



SUPPLEMENT. 



Since the above list was in type I have been favoured 

 with the opportunity of examining additional material from 

 the collections of Messrs. Evans, Carter, and Waterston, and 

 have also paid some attention to those of certain Families 

 in my own collection and that of the Edinburgh Museum. 

 For the identification of the whole of these specimens I hold 

 myself entirely responsible. I have still a great amount of 

 material to work through, and therefore hope to raise the 

 list ultimately up to at least 800 species, of which the 

 additional ones will be recorded in a number of " Supple- 

 ments " whenever I can find the opportunity. Many of the 

 species here recorded from only a single or a few localities 

 have been found to occur pretty generally throughout the 

 district, while several of the old records by Hardy, Stewart, 

 and others have been quite recently confirmed by the 

 captures of Mr. Evans and the other gentlemen who have so 

 kindly allowed me to see their specimens. Such supple- 

 mentary information I hope to incorporate in a future paper 

 on the subject. 



Family MYCETOPHILID^. 



398. SCIARA THOM^E, L. Aberfoyle, 1 3th September 1897 (Wm. 



Evans). 



399. SCIARA RUFIVENTRIS, Mcq. Saline, Fife, soth August 1901 



(Wm. Evans). This large and well-marked species was in- 

 serted in pt. iii. of VerralFs "List " (ist edition) as " reputed " 

 British. I have carefully compared Mr. Evans's specimen 

 with the descriptions by Winnertz (Monogr. d. Sciarinen),
