230 THE SCOTTISH NATURALIST 



Lochinver, 20th June 191 1, caught "red handed." These 

 specimens agree with the identification of C. obsoletus, at the 

 British Museum, but are not the same as C. arcuatum, Winn., 

 this synonymy therefore seems to require revising. 



49. C. (Culicoides) varius, Winn., Loch Assynt, 2nd June 191 t, 



caught "red handed." 



50. C. (Culicoides) pit Hearts, L., Loch Assynt, 5 th June 191 1, "red 



handed." 



It is interesting to note that all the specimens of 

 Ceratopogon caught "red handed" belong to the sub- 

 genus Culicmdes. 



ORPHNEPHILIDiE. 



51. Orphnephila testacea, Ruthe, Loch Assynt, 7th, 18th, and 21st 



June 1911. 



PSYCHODIDjE. 



52. Perieoma mutua, Eat., Loch Assynt, 6th June 191 1 — the only 



specimen of the family brought away, though many specimens 

 were seen. 



CULICID/E. 



Although no specimen of this family was met with, still the 

 inhabitants were full of tales of a "musquito" said to have been 

 recently introduced. The species, however, is probably some old, 

 well-known, and widely distributed one.
