B. neustria L. has occurred once at Aberdeen ; but, though it is a species that 

 should occur, we can scarcely yet include it in the Scottish list.

All the Scottish specimens, I imagine, belong to the variety calluncs Palmer 

 ( = quercus L., Fauna suecica), which differs only from the typical querais by its 

 darker colour (especially in the female), and by its different time of appearance. 

 Quercus, as distinguished from calluna y appears in Mr. A. Davidson's Ross- 

 shire list, but I have not seen specimens. 



LANESTBIS L. Not common.

Weaver records, in the " Zoologist," the capture of this species [larva?] on Ben 

 Nevis ; I do not think the evidence is sufficient.
