TLPULIDM IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND. 

 BY KOBEET . HENDERSON. 



ISiiice the appearance in the pages ot" this Magazine of Mr. 

 Verrall's annotated list of Tipulidcs, little information concerning the 

 distribution of the group has been made public. Many of the species 

 were at that time known only from localities in England or from old 

 collections, and as not a few of the species which occur in this district 

 are still unrecorded from Scotland, an addition to the records may be 

 acceptable to those interested in the group. 



All the species here noted have been taken during the past four 

 years, and are extracted from a list, just completed, which I have 

 drawn up for the "Handbook on the Fauna and Flora of Clyde," now 

 being printed by the local sub-coinmittee of the British Association. 

 The list comprises 133 species, and includes four which, so far as I 

 have been able to ascertain, have not been recorded as British, viz., 

 Goniomijia connexa, Lw. ; Pachyrrhina hmulicornis, Schum. ; Tipula 

 Wimiertzii, Egg., and T. montium, Egg. The localities and other 

 particulars given in the list are, of course, too long to be inserted 

 here, and in the following extract I merely indicate the distribution 

 of the species. The nomenclature is that of Mr. Verrall's " List of 

 British Diptera'' (188S). 



Dixa maculata, Lw. ; D. nebulosa, Lw., frequent. 



Ptychoptera contaminata, L. ; P. paludosa, Mg. ; P. scutellaris, iMg., I'are ; 

 P. laciistris, Mg. ; P. albimana, F., frequent. 



Limnobia quadrinotata, Mg. ; L. Jtavijies, F. ; L. fripunctata, F., rare ; L. 

 bifasciata, Schum. ; L. trivittata, Schum. ; L. macrosilffina, Sclium., frequent ; 

 L. mtheculosa, Mg.. very common. 



Dlcranomyia aquosa,Yev. ; D. pilipennis, Egg. ; D. sp. 1 (an ochreous species) ; 

 D. sp. ? (probably a variety of D. sericata, Mg.) ; Z). stigmatica, Mg. ; D. didyma, 

 Mg. ; JJ. niorio, F. ; D. ornatn, Mg., all more or less rare ; D. dumetorum, Mg., 

 frequent ; D. modesta, Mg. ; D. chorea, Mg. (an extremely variable species),
