14 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



187. Hemerodromia precatoria, Fall., Lochinver, 7th and nth July 



191 1 ; Loch Assynt, 2nd, 3rd, nth, and 18th June 1911; 

 The Mound, 20th June 1904. 



188. H. melanocephala, Hal., Loch Assynt, iSth June and 19th 



July 1911; Golspie, 10th June 1904. 



189. H. stigmatica?, Schin., Lochinver, 10th July 191 1. 



190. H. oratorio,, Fall., Lochinver, 1st, 7th, and nth July 1911; 



Loch Assynt, 19th July 191 1. 



191. H. sp. inc., Loch Assynt, 7th, nth, and 17th June 191 1. 



192. H. sp. inc., Lochinver, 1st, 7th, and nth July 191 1. 



Mr Collin informs me that he finds good structural 

 characters in the genitalia of this group. These characters 

 will probably necessitate an entire remodelling of the genus. 



193. Ardoptera guttata, Hal., $, Loch Assynt, 9th June 191 1. 



194. Gloma ossicula, Becker (=/uscipennis, Mg.), Loch Assynt, 



2nd, 5th, 6th, and 9th June, and 19th July 1911. Not 

 uncommon in long grass under Birch trees in damp, marshy 

 ground. All the specimens taken were males, and were 

 obtained by sweeping, but as no females were captured a 

 careful search was made all round for this sex, but without 

 success ; twice my hopes were raised high only to be 

 shattered, as the specimens proved to be two $ $ of O. 

 glabricula. I am indebted to Mr Grimshaw for the identi- 

 fication of these specimens; like him I am doubtful of the 

 validity of Becker's species, and this doubt seems to be 

 shared by Mr Collin. 



195. Lepidomyia melanocephala, F., Loch Assynt, 19th July 191 1; 



Lochinver, 21st and 23rd June, and 1st, 4th, 9th, and 13th 

 Julyi9ii; Tongue, 18th June 1884 (Verrall). It does not 

 appear clear why the high priests of the fetish Priority ignore 

 the genus Chelipoda of Macq., but as the generic name 

 Lepidomyia seems to be in general use, I am quite willing to 

 accept it. 



196. Tachypeza nubila, Mg., Loch Assynt, 2nd and 5th June 191 1; 



Lochinver, 26th June 1911; Golspie, 18th June 1904. 



197. Tachista arrogans, L, Loch Assynt, 18th and 21st July 191 1. 



198. T. connexa, Mg., $ , Loch Assynt, 18th June 191 1. 



199. T. annulimana, Mg., Loch Assynt, 18th June and 18th and 



21st July 1911 ; Lochinver, 27th and 28th June 1911. 



200. Chersodromia hirta, Wlk., Brora, 20th August 1899. Will 



probably occur on the seashore at Lochinver and elsewhere. 



201. Tachydromia lutea, Fall., Golspie, 14th and 16th June 1904. 



202. T. ciliaris, Fall., Lochinver, 4th and 13th July 191 1.
