36 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



37. ATHOUS H/EMORRHOIDALIS, F. Two examples of this uni- 



versally distributed insect. 



38. CORYMBITES cupREus, F., var. /ERUGiNOSUS, Germ. Twelve 



examples of this pretty insect. All males. The type form 

 was not taken. According to Canon Fowler, this species 

 does not occur in the London district or the south of Eng- 

 land, but is common in the north on moors, and has been 

 taken as far south as Norwich and Lincoln. Whether these 

 remarks apply to the type or the variety, or both, I am not 

 quite certain. 



39. CORYMBITES QUERCUS, GylL, with var. OCHROPTERUS, Steph. 



Four examples, with one of the variety. Not common in the 

 south of England, but common from the Midlands to the 

 extreme north of Great Britain. The variety occurs sparingly 

 with the type. 



MALACODERMA. 



40. DASCILLUS CERVINUS, L. One hundred and fifty-six examples. 



This species, with Acidota, was by far the most abundant. 

 Quantities were taken off the snow. This is interesting, as 

 the insect appears to be local throughout the country. It 

 seems to prefer hilly districts. 



41. TELEPHORUS FIGURATUS, Ma/in/i., Tar. SCOTICUS, Sharp. Three 



examples of this very local species. The type form did not 

 occur. 



42. TELEPHORUS LITURATUS, Fall. Six examples of a small form 



which gave great trouble. The examples were small enough 

 for figuratus, but did not satisfy the description, nor could 

 any impressed lines be discerned, even under a high power, 

 on the antennas. 



43. TELEPHORUS PALUDOSUS, Fall. Twelve examples of this very 



local species, which is confined to mountainous and hilly 

 districts. 



44. RAGONYCHA LIMBATA, Thorns. Two examples. A common 



and widely distributed species. 



PHYTOPHAGA. 



45. DONACIA DISCOLOR, Panz. (COMARI, Sitff.) Thirty-six examples 



of this beautiful species. The range of colour was very limited, 

 most being bronze. The species is found in " high boggy 

 districts." Canon Fowler relates that it was discovered in 

 this country first in Perthshire by Mr. Foxcroft in May 1854. 

 Local in England, common in Scotland.
