i 3 8 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



Dolerus gibbosus, Htg., which Cameron recorded as very common 

 ('76), and altered to elongatus, Thorns., in '78. I cannot 

 understand how Malloch, on the strength of gibbosus being 

 a British species, should reinstate it as gibbosus. Cameron's 

 1876 record for gibbosus should, I think, be referable to ceneus, 

 Htg. 



Dolerus Thomsoni, Konow, has now been identified by Dr Enslin 

 zsferrugatus, Lep. See also Ent. Mo. Mag., 1910, p. 154. 



Dolerus gonager, F. One of our commonest Clydesdale species, 

 which Malloch has omitted. Recorded by Cameron from 

 Kenmuir ('76) ('78), and as very common in Monograph (vol. i., 

 p. 170) widely distributed and abundant, May and June ('01). 



Dolerus palmatus, Kl., and vestigialis, Kl., belong to the genus 

 Loderus, species with oblong eyes, with a slightly concave inner 

 margin. See Morice, Ent. Mo. Mag., 1909, p. 204; also, 

 Cameron, Monograph, vol. iv., p. 16 1. 1 



Tenthredopsis gynandromorpha, Rudow. Cameron (vol. iv., p. 152) 

 records a single specimen from Clydesdale ; see also Morice, 

 Ent. Mo. Mag., 1912, p. 236. Malloch omits it. 



Pachyprotasis antennata, Klug. Recorded by Cameron in 187S 

 from Cadder. Malloch also omits this. I have several from 

 Luss, Loch Lomond ; identification confirmed by Dr Enslin. 



At the end of the list, Malloch gives a list of species he 

 cannot trace. One species in particular, Neinatus pinictulatus, 

 Dbm., was recorded by Cameron in 1876 from Cadder, altered 

 by him from pinictulatus (Dbm.), Thorns., to leucotroclius, 

 Htg., in 1878, and to leucogaster, Htg., in 1886. Now 

 identified as PacJiyncmatus vagus, Fab. Malloch places this 

 in the body of his list as Pacliyneinatus vagus, Fab., a species 

 he has identified ; and at the end of the list as pinictulatus, 

 Dbm., a species he cannot trace. LcucotrocJius, Htg., 

 according to Konow {Gen. Inscctorum, p. 56), is a good 

 species, and is a Pteronus which Malloch has evidently taken 

 (see p. 13 in his list ; also Morice's tables, iiW. Mo. Mag., 1906, 

 p. 131). Malloch has therefore Pteronus leucotrochus, Htg., 

 as a good species, and also as a synonym under PacJiyjiematus 

 vagus, Fab. (p. 14, Malloch's list). 



The Dairy records in the list are, I think, entirely 



1 [These species stood correctly under Loderns in the MS. and final proofs of 

 Mr Malloch's article ; the letters were evidently transposed afterwards by the 

 printers. Eds.]
