202 PROCEEDINGS OF THE 



III. — Notes on Clydesdale Hymenoptera. By Mr P. Cai^ieron. 



In the following paper I purpose detailing a number of additions 

 to the Clydesdale Hymenoptera, and giving additional localities 

 for species already recorded in the "Fauna and Flora of the 

 West of Scotland," Glasgow, 1876. 



Tenthredinidae. 



Lophyrus virens, Klug. Kannoch. 



Lophyrus rufiis, Kl., is possibly Scotch (Oban), as the specimens 

 in Stephen's collection in the British Museum are L. rufus, and 

 not L. iKtllidus. Mr C. W. Dale, of Glanville's Wooton, tells me 

 that he has Scotch specimens of L. imlUdus from the late John 

 Curtis. 



Croesus lati'pes, Vill., perhaps occurs in the district. In Septem- 

 ber, I found in Clober Wood a larva on birch, that appeared to 

 belong to this species ; it was, however, very young. 



Nematus longiserra, Thomson. Kintail. June. Larva on 

 sallows. 



Nematus xanthogaster, Foerster. 



In giving an account of the life history of Nematus crassulus 

 (Proc. Nat. Hist. Soc. Glas., Vol. ii., p. 313), I expressed some 

 doubt as to the identity of that insect with N. xanthogaster, Foer., 

 and N. leucostictus, H. In that doubt I now find I was quite 

 justified. Brischke and Zaddach have figured the larvae (Schr. 

 Phys.-okon. Ges. zu Konig. ix. ; the letterpress has not yet 

 appeared) of both species, and it is certain that they are distinct 

 from A^. crassulus. I am glad to be able to record N. xanthogaster 

 as British, Prof. Zaddach having identified for me an insect taken 

 at Possil Marsh as Foerster's species, it having stood previously in 

 my collection as N. ])iliserra, Thomson, which name must now 

 sink as a synonym. N. leucostictus is stated to roll down the 

 leaves of Salix aurita. Possibly it is also British, as similar 

 larvae on that plant are not uncommon in Scotland and England. 



Nematus rumicis, Fall. Houston. August. 



Athalia glahricollis, Thoms. Generally distributed. (See antea, 

 p. 129). 



Athalia lugens, Kl. Kilsyth; Gleniffer Braes. (Mr Morris 

 Young). 



Emphytus tibialis, Kl. Clober (Mr King). Cadder. 



Emphytus serotinus, Kl. Clober. Imago in September.
