A variety of the male, with large head, and remarkable differences in the 

 sculpture of the hind -body (variolosus Sharp,), has occurred in the Forth 

 district. — D. S. 



[pucicola Curt. Maritime. Doubtful as Scottish. 



Though this species is recorded in Murray's Catalogue as occurring in the 

 Forth district ("Dalmeny"), I feel confident that the large variety of P. 

 xantholoma alluded to above would be intended, rather than the true P. 

 fucicola. — D. S.

Obs. — A red variety of this species occurs (P. corrttscus Gr.J, but I am 

 not aware that it has been found in Scotland. The entire absence of this 

 variety in Scotland would be, if confirmed, a point of considerable interest.
