Sutton in Lincolnshire, Coniston, and Aberlady, though not 

 uncommon in those localities. Col. Yerbury has recently 

 taken it at Porthcawl and Barmouth. It may readily be 

 considered one of the black-legged section of the genus. 



29. D. sabinus Ilal. : not uncommon on sea coasts from Bournemouth 



to Aberlady, and also rather inland at Coniston. 



30. D acuticornis Wied. : Col. Yerbury has given me several speci- 



mens of this species, which he took at Porthcawl in South 

 Wales from early in June up to July 1st, 1903, and also one 

 taken at Barmouth in June, 1902 ; he has also informed 

 me that he has taken it in Ireland. 



31. D. longicornis Stanu. : an uncommon species, though \ have 



taken it in about half a dozen localities, ranging from 

 Lyndhurst to Braemar, while Col. Yerbury took one male at 

 Porthcawl. I once caught a male in a small glass-house in 

 my own garden, the only other species of the genus which 

 I have taken there being the ubiquitous D. ungulatus. 



32. D. puncticornis Zett. : a very local species, which is well distin- 



guished from its English allies by the deep ochreous face of 

 the male, though the male of D. lineaticornis has the face 

 ochre-yellow. D. puncticornis was fairly abundant in a 

 limited portion of Wickeu Fen when 1 collected there in 

 1875, and Col. Yerbury has taken it at Porthcawl iu Gla- 

 morgan. 



33. D, linearis Meig. : I first found this in company with the last 



species at Wicken Fen in July, 1875, but in very limited 

 numbers ; a special search, however, on June 26th, 1876, 

 produced a good series ; 1 have also taken it at Thetford, 

 while a specimen occurred on June 12th, 1899, on the glass 

 of the porch of the Metropole Hotel, Brighton. 1 believe 

 that all the so-called D. agilis which have been at various 

 times recorded as British belong to this species, and conse- 

 quently I still leave that as only a " reputed " British species. 



34. D. nuhilus Meig. : common from Exmouth to Tongue. I cannot 



understand Kowarz stating that the female of this species 

 has the squamae yellow fringed as in the male. 



35. D. latilimhatus Macq. : 1 have seen this from only Devon, Dorset, 



and Sussex. I cannot understand Wahlbcrg and Zetterstedt 

 stating that this species has yellow fringed squama).
