.specicH, and otliors of considerable! interest. The very connnon 

 species, such as Ilomalomi/ia cauicular/s, &c., are not now included, 

 and those species which are already recorded near Aberdeen in Mr. 

 Vice's list I have marked *. 



All the following species were met with at no great distance from 

 Aberdeen, the neighbourhood of Banchory, which is about 25 miles 

 to the west, being the most distant.

 cata, Jj , White Stripes, near Aberdeen.

 White Stripes; this species and P. replicata were several times bred.
