Pedicia rivosa, Linn. — This insect, although very local, appears to 

 be widely spread in the district. Two specimens were 

 brought to us from Fintry, Stirlingshire, in the beginning of 

 July. Subsequently two were taken at Clobercn the 27th of 

 the same month, another at Baldernock on the 4th August, 

 while it was also taken at Kirn by Mr. Henderson. Mr. 

 Grimshaw, of Edinburgh, who identified the first specimen 

 taken, described it as local. A high-flying but slow insect. 



Liogma glahrata, Mg. — Two flew out of an Alder Tree on the north 

 side of the Allander, at Clober, on the 27th July. They flew 

 rather high, and some difficulty was experienced in netting 

 them. Very like Pachyrrhince in appearance. 



Fachyrrhina maculosa^ Mg. 



Pachyrrliina histrio, F. — Both of these species are widely 

 distributed in the district, though they can scarcely be called 

 common. They haunt fields and roadsides, and fly rather low. 

 F. maculosa was first obtained at Mollinburn on 30th May, 

 and F. histrio at the Linn of Baldernock on 6th June. F. 

 histrio seems to fly longer than the other species, for we 

 have found it at various times up to date, the latest having 

 been sent to me from Fintry at the end of last week. 



Localities for F. maculosa : Linn of Baldernock, 6th June ; 

 Inchmurrin, 19th June; Possil, 25th June; Clober, 6th 

 July; Kirn, Troon, &c. 



Localities for P. histrio : Cadder Wilderness, 30th June ;

Tipula nigra, Linn. — The male was very common on two small 

 patches of rushes on the Allander Bank on 27th June, 30th 

 June, and 1st July. Although I went specially on the two 

 latter dates to try and find the female, not one could be got. 

 This species not observed in any other locality. 



T. ohsoleta, Mg. — Fairly common in the early part of June ; 

 Cadder Wilderness, 3rd June ; Drymen Road, (fee. 



T. confusa, Y. de Wulp. — A late species, not appearing till the 

 end of August. Yery often found on walls or on trunks of 

 trees. 



T. longicornis, Schum. — An exceedingly common species about 

 the end of June and beginning of July. Localities : Possil 

 Marsh, Crookston, Cadder Wilderness, Clober, Kirn, (fee.
