Pedicia rivosa, Linn.—This insect, although very local, appears to 
be widely spread in the district. Two specimens were | 
brought to us from Fintry, Stirlingshire, in the beginning of 
July. Subsequently two were taken at Cloberon the 27th of 
the same month, another at Baldernock on the 4th August, 
while it was also taken at Kirn by Mr. Henderson, Mr. 
Grimshaw, of Edinburgh, who identified the first specimen 
taken, described it as local. A high-flying but slow insect. 
Liogma glabrata, Mg.—Two flew out of an Alder Tree on the north 
side of the Allander, at Clober, on the 27th July. They flew 
rather high, and some difficulty was experienced in netting 
them. Very like Pachyrrhine in appearance, 
Pachyrrhina maculosa, Mg. 
Pachyrrhina histrio, F.—Both of these species are widely 
distributed in the district, though they can scarcely be called 
common. They haunt fields and roadsides, and fly rather low. 
P. maculosa was first obtained at Mollinburn on 30th May, 
and P. histrio at the Linn of Baldernock on 6th June. P. 
histrio seems to fly longer than the other species, for we 
have found it at various times up to date, the latest having 
been sent to me from Fintry at the end of last week. 
Localities for P. maculosa: Linn of Baldernock, 6th June ; 
Inchmurrin, 19th June; Possil, 25th June; Clober, 6th 
July; Kirn, Troon, &ec. 
Localities for P. histrio: Cadder Wilderness, 30th June ; 
Inchmurrin, 20th June; Milngavie, Fintry, cc. 
Tipula nigra, Linn.—The male was very common on two small 
patches of rushes on the Allander Bank on 27th June, 30th 
June, and lst July. Although I went specially on the two 
latter dates to try and find the female, not one could be got. 
This species not observed in any other locality. 
T. obsoleta, Mg.—Fairly common in the early part of June; 
Cadder Wilderness, 3rd June; Drymen Road, &e. 
T. confusa, V. de Wulp.—A late species, not appearing till the 
end of August. Very often found on walls or on trunks of 
trees. 
T. longicornis, Schum.—An exceedingly common species about 
the end of June and beginning of July. Localities: Possil 
Marsh, Crookston, Cadder Wilderness, Clober, Kirn, &e.
