20 THE FAUNA OF SCOTLAND. 



2. P. FLETCHERi, Camerou, 



= oUusa, Thomson, Hymen. Scand. i., 231; nee Klug and Hartig. 



Rare. Imago in June. Larva unknown. 



Rannoch, Braemar. 



This species is distinguished from the ivne ohtusum by its longer antennae 

 (they are as long, if not longer, than the abdomen; in ohtusum they are 

 only as long as the thorax) ; bhick mouth (in ohtusum the clypeus is white) ; 

 there is a distinct white line on the pronotum; the legs are more or less 

 luteous, with a black line on the femora, and the base of the tibiae white; 

 the anus is distinctly luteous; and lastly, ohtusum is larger than pulveratum, 

 while the present insect is smaller. Ohtusum was originally taken in 

 Hungary, and I can find no record of its having been captured since it was 

 first described. 



I have great pleasure in naming it after Mr J. E. Fletcher of Worcester, 

 the discoverer of many novelties in the neglected orders of insects, and to 

 whom I am much indebted in many ways. 



3. P. suBMUTicuM, Thorns. 



= imi^ressum, Klug (part). 



Common. Imago in May and June. Larva (?). 



Possil Marsh, Clober, Strathblane, Craigmaddie, Kintail. 



Rannoch, Braemar, Kingussie, Strath-Glass, Bonar Bridge. 



I bred this species from among Emphytus calceatus, and hence suspect 

 that it is attached to Spiraea, upon which I have found a larva like that of 

 calceatus, but with black marks along the sides.

Not common. Imago in June. Larva unknown.

Rannochj Kingussie, Braemar, Strath-Glass, Bonar Bridge.
