NOTES ON THE TIPULIDZ OF THE GLASGOW DISTRICT. 195 
T. hortensis, Mg.—Verrall, in his paper in the Hntomologists’ 
Monthly Magazine, Vol. XXV., p. 25, says, “I do not at 
present recognise 7’. hortensis, Mg.” A species which, in all 
respects, answers to the description of 7. hortensis, was very 
common in this district in May, especially in the neighbour- 
hood of Milngavie. We found it principally on the roadsides. 
Localities are—Milngavie, 6th June; Baldernock, 6th June; 
Crookston, 13th June; Cadder Wilderness, Kirn, &c. 
T. melanoceros, Schum.—On Inchmoan, Loch Lomond, 19th May ; 
and banks of Allander, 23rd May. 
T. pruinosa, W.—Found this species in fair abundance on the 
moors around the Whangie, on 5th June. 
T. lunata,Linn.—This is apparently a common and well-distributed 
species, appearing early in June, and continuing to fly during 
the greater part of July. Shettleston, 20th June; Possil, 
25th June; Kirn, Milngavie, &c. Observed on shores of 
Loch Eck on 22nd July. 
T. lateralis, Mg.—A single specimen was taken at Clober on the 
23rd May. Not seen elsewhere. 
T. vernalis, Mg.—An early and easily distinguished species, 
apparently widely distributed in the district, flying in grassy 
parks. Linn of Baldernock, 6th June; Bellahouston Park, 
13th June; Crookston, 13th June; Possil, 25th June. Not 
seen after the end of June. 
T. vittata, Mg.—This is undoubtedly the capture of the season, 
and I am pleased to say that there can be no doubt as to its 
identity. Mr. Henderson and myself have gone carefully over 
the description given by Schiner—Fawna Austriaca (Diptera) 
—and find our capture correct in every respect. There can be 
little question at any time about the identification of an 
insect so distinct as this species. A single specimen was 
taken by me at the Linn of Baldernock on 6th June. 
Verrall mentions that the Rev. E. N. Bloomfield had found 
it near Hastings, but I have been unable to find any other 
; record, English or Scotch. ; 
T. gigantea, Schrk.—Only three of this species have been observed 
this year, though in other seasons they have been noticed in 
tolerable numbers, and I have even seen them at rest on the 
walls of the Waverley Hotel, Sauchiehall Street. The localities
