LIST OF CLYDE TENTHREDINID/E (SAWFLIES). 



By J. R. Malloch. 



The first list of Clyde species in this group was compiled by- 

 Peter Cameron, and published in the Fauna and Flora of 

 Clydesdale and the West of Scotland, 1876. This remained 

 until 1901 the only list for the district, when it was supplanted 

 by that in the Handbook on the Natural History of Glasgow 

 and the West of Scotland, prepared by A. A. Dalglish. 

 Shortly after the appearance of the 1876 list, one by 

 Cameron for the whole of Scotland appeared in the 

 Proceedings of the Glasgow Natural History Society, as part 

 of its projected " Fauna of Scotland," 1878, with a supplement, 

 in 1886. Cameron's records are not included in the 1901 list. 

 I had not intended to include the whole of these lists in my 

 paper, but as the additional species are so few and the work 

 attached to the elucidation of the names had already been 

 undertaken for the original paper, I have decided to give 

 them a place. For the most part this inclusion simply 

 means additional locality records, but a few of the species 

 are not in the 1876 list, nor in that of 1901. It may now be 

 considered that we are as near finality as we are ever likely 

 to get in the elucidation of Cameron's records, as even he 

 was in some cases doubtful about certain species. The old 

 records will in after years prove interesting, as many of the 

 collecting grounds are now beyond hope from the collector's 

 point of view. I have included at the end a list of 

 those species I cannot satisfy myself about. In the genus 

 Tenthredopsis one cannot depend upon the supposed specific 

 distinctions, and all that are in the list have passed through 

 the hands of Rev. F. D. Morice, to whom my best thanks are 

 due for much assistance in compiling this list. The same 

 remarks apply to the genus Dolerus, which Cameron seems to 

 have imperfectly understood. In this list those species that 

 have, after the localities, the figures ('/6), (fS), ('86), and 

 ('oi), appear in the four lists mentioned above. Where
