choin. 

 Silo

j^ q u i p a I 2^ i CB' 

 LEPTOCERID^E. 

 Ber^a 



PULLATA, Curt. ) — These species were taken freely near 

 MAURUS, Curt, i Sron-mhail-choin. 



Leptocerus 



NIGRO-NERVOSUS, Retz. — Rare, in the Pass of Brander. 

 FULVUS, Ramb.— This insect might be seen disporting itself 

 of an evening above the surface of the 

 quieter reaches of the river Orchy ; but 

 owing to its very swift flight and its 

 habit — or caution — in not approaching 

 the river bank, it was but rarely cap- 

 tured. 

 ATERRIMUS, Steph.— The black and brown forms of this very 

 common species occurred in numbers 

 both in the Dalmally and Tobermory 

 districts, the brown form preponderat- 

 ing. 

 CINEREUS, Curt. — Very common everywhere. 

 COMMUTATUS, (Rostock) M'Lach. — Somewhat frequent on the 

 Orchy. It is worthy of note that 

 wherever this species occurs, its 

 nearest ally, L. albifi^ons, is seldom, 

 if ever, taken — L. coinmutatus taking 

 the place of the more common species. 

 Such, at least, has been my experi- 

 ence. 

 Mystacides 



AZUREA, L. — Occurring in clouds along the side of Loch 

 Awe, near Tobermory, and in Barcaldine 

 grounds. 

 Tri^nodes 



BICOLOR, Curt.— This species might be taken in any quan- 

 tity at the sedgy lochans, and also at the 

 backwaters of the river Orchy.
