 flew in great numbers over the pretty pink-starred cushions of Silene 

 acaidis. Herhula cespitalis also common on the hill sides. Scapula

* Meyrick gives " Perth to Ross" as the range of this species ; it occurs, however, in Stir- 

 lingshire, Dumbartonshire, and the adjoining parts of Argyleshire.
