36 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



LAMIID-F. 



Pogonochcerus dentatus, Fourc Moray, Elgin, one in flood rubbish, 

 beginning of October, Culbin Sandhills, Chitty (3). The 

 record of this species for Solwav in Dr Sharp's Coleoptera was 

 based on an old record from Moffat by Rev. W. Little in 

 Murray's "Catalogue of the Coleoptera of Scotland" (1853), 

 under the name P. pilosus, Fab., but Dr Sharp was doubtful of 

 the correctness of the determination, and remarked : " very rare 

 if indigenous." Chitty's record confirms the occurrence of the 

 species in Scotland. 



Saperda scalaris, L. Moray, East Sutherland, several on birch, 

 Invershin, July 1900, Champion (13). 



CHRYSOMELID^. 



Orsodacna lineola, Pz. Clyde, Renfrew, specimens from Paisley 

 sent by Mr Dunsmore, Champion (12). 



O. lineola, Pz., var. hitmeralis, Lat. Clyde, Renfrew, a male from 



Paisley sent by Mr Dunsmore, Champion (12). 

 Donacia thalassina, Germ. Forth, Linlithgow, fairly common on 

 Eleocharis and other water-plants in a pond at Drumshoreland, 

 1st June 1895, Evans (5). 

 Hamonia appendiculata, Pz. Tweed, Selkirk, rare, Cauldshiels 

 Loch, Whitehead. This species, which is a most interesting 

 addition to the Scottish list, was recorded as H. curtisi, Lac. 

 Mr Whitehead kindly sent me his specimens, four in number, 

 and upon examination they were found to be an extremely 

 small form of appendiculata. Commander Walker has 

 compared them with his appendiculata taken near Oxford, and 

 he writes me that the Scotch specimens are barely half the size 

 of those from Oxford, and are much paler in general aspect 

 owing to the obsolescence of the dark markings. H. appendicu- 

 lata has only been recorded from a few localities in England, 

 and it has also occurred in Ireland, near Dublin. 



Zeugophora subspinosa, F. Moray, Easterness, with Z. turner:', 

 Pow., at Aviemore, Beare (30). 



Cryptocephalus aurcolus, Suf. Moray, Easterness, one on a 

 buttercup, Nethy Bridge, July 1909, Maitland-Dougall. 



C. parvulus, Mull. Moray, Easterness, Glen Affric, on birch, 

 1884 (Cruttwell), Fowler (6). 



Timarcha tencbricosa, F. Solway, Kirkcudbright, nearly a dozen 

 on Screel, Service ; seven on waste land, Orchardton, Douglas 

 (3) ; Potterland Hill, Lennon and Douglas ; Wigtown, 

 in hundreds near shore, Port William, Gordon (1).
