200 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



tion regarding the occurrence of the species when the Clyde Hst 

 was prepared and the record for Glasgow therein contained was 

 merely given upon the authority of Fowler. In view of the fact 

 that Mr Somerville's specimens were taken under the bark of 

 palings which may have been imported it is perhaps a little 

 doubtful if they were truly indigenous. The capture of T. typo- 

 graphus on the same occasion lends colour to this view, as this 

 species has never occurred elsewhere in Scotland, and in fact 

 is considered doubtfully indigenous in the latest British list by 

 Newbery and W. E. Sharp (1915). Neither of the species appears 

 to have occurred in the Clyde area since they were taken by 

 Mr Somerville. A. Fergusson, Glasgow. 



Theobaldia arctica, Edw., and Ochlerotatus concinnus, 

 Stephens, in Perthshire. Referring to Mr Edwards' interesting 

 paper, "A New British Mosquito," antea, p. 91, I am able to record 

 three more specimens of T. arctica. The species was mixed in my 

 collection with T. annulata. I have three ? $ taken at Blairgowrie 

 on 17th May 1908, 24th May 1909, and 23rd July 1910 respectively. 

 They are very like annulata, but differ, as Mr Edwards points out, 

 in the banding of the legs. The basal white bands on the abdomen 

 too, in my specimens, seem slightly broader and more distinct than 

 in annulata. 



Mr Edwards also mentions (p. 92) that Ochlerotatus concinnus 

 " has only once been taken since Stephens' time." For the sake of 

 our Scottish "Records," I may mention that the capture was made 

 by myself. Two ? ? were taken at Aberfoyle in September 1905, 

 and named for me by Mr Edwards last January one is in the 

 British Museum collection. This is another addition to the list of 

 Forth Diptera. A. E. J. Carter, Monifieth. 



Eumerus tuberculatus, Rnd , in Scotland. Since my 

 record of Eujnerus strigatiis, Fin. [antea, p. 29), from my garden 

 here, Mr J. E. Collin has shown {Ent. Mo. Mag., 1920, p. 102), 

 that a closely allied species ttiberculatus, Rnd. occurs in England. 

 I have lately compared my supposed strigatus with the careful 

 description given by INIr Collin, and find that it is referable to 

 tuberciilatus. The specimen I recorded is a (^ , and was taken 

 28th May 19 1 9. A large number of Narcissus bulbs are in the 

 garden, and the fly has probably been introduced with these.
