Sericostoma personatum, Spence, common by the river, and also at 

 Lofhaii nan Damh, the examples ranginj^ in colour from the usual 

 brown to black. Goera pilosa, F., common at the river. Brachycentrus 

 subnuhilus, Curt., was found in abundance all over the Glen in the 

 early part of June. Lepidostoma hirtum, ¥., and Lasiocepliala basalts, 

 Kol., were both common by the river. 



Bercea pullata, Curt., occurred in a marshy spot ; Molanna palpata, 

 McL., in myriads around Lochan nan Damh ; Leptocerus cinereus, 

 Curt., and L. hilineatus, L., both by the river, where Mystacides azurea, 

 L.,also swarmed. Odotitocerum alhicorne. Scop., was just coming out. 



Hydropsyche fulvipes, Curt. : a few of this interesting species 

 were beaten from an isolated alder standing on a slope above a rapid 

 stream near the foot of Meall Ghaordie. Philopotamus montanus, 

 Donov., common. Plectrocnemia conspersa. Curt., and P. geniculata, 

 McL., were frequent. Polycentropus fiavomaculatus, Pict., was noticed 

 at Lochan nan Damh, where Cyrnus trimaculatus, Curt., and O.Jlavidus, 

 McL., also occurred, the last named species at this Lochan as well as 

 at Lochan na Lairige, assuming a pallid form which approximates to 

 that found by Mr. King at Tongue in Sutherlandshire, totally unlike 

 the type form in appearance, but seemingly identical in structure of 

 the genitalia. Psychomyia pusilla, F., at the river. 



The Rhyacophilidce were represented by Rhyacophila dorsalis, 

 Curt., Glossosoma Bolfoni, Curt., and G. vernale, Pict. ; also Agopetus 

 comatus, Pict. Only one Hydroptilid was observed, namely, H. 

 femoralis, Eaton. 



In the meantime I cannot refer to the Lepidoptera, but hope to 

 give some account of them as soon as the Micros have been fully 

 determined.

BEMBIDIUM riRESS, QYLL., AN ADDITION TO THE BRITISH LIST. 

 BY U. C. CHAMPION, F.Z.S. 



I have much pleasure in being able to record this species from 

 Britain. It was found not uncommonly by Mr. K. W. Lloyd and 

 myself on July Gth, 1892, on the shores of Loch Maree, Eoss-shire. 

 B. virens is allied to B. prasinum, Duftschm. (= oUoaceum, Gyll.) — 

 near which the Loch Maree insect had been placed in my collection 

 and forgotten— a species occurring in various parts of Scotland (Ran- 

 noch, Braemar, &c.), as well as in England. It is, however, less
