 this variety in Dr Sharp's collection from Inverness-shire." 

 Fowler (6). This variety is not included in Beare and 

 Donisthorpe's Catalogue, but Donisthorpe (Ent. Rec, xxiii. 247), 

 in recording a specimen from the Oxford district, states that 

 both the last European Catalogue and Ganglbauer treat it as a 

 good species, and that he sees no reason why it should not be 

 regarded as such.
