Three females and one male taken by Mr. P. Cameron 
near Lamlash, Arran, towards the middle of September. 
Phygadeuon fumator, Gr. (Pl. VIIL., figs. 6—8). 
Towards the end of August last year I took, by beat- 
ing, a semi-apterous Cryptid which I could not make out, 
and amongst Mr. Cameron’s insects I found three more 
of these nondescripts. From a careful examination, 
I believe them to be varieties of Phygadeuon fumator 
with abbreviated wings: they differ very slightly from 
that insect; but my specimen has the metathorax 
shghtly more rugose than any P. fumator I have; un- 
fortunately I cannot see this part of Mr. Cameron’s 
insects very plaimly, as the wings have dried up over 
the metathorax; they vary slightly in coloration. My 
specimen is the palest; it has all the coxe and tro- 
chanters pale yellowish red, the first four joints of the 
antennz and base of the fifth red, and the 2nd abdo- 
minal segment and basal half of the 3rd red. Of Mr. 
Cameron’s three specimens one has the coxe and 
trochanters like mine; the other two have the hind 
coxz more or less stained with brown, as well as the 
apex of the hind femora. The antenne of one show the 
red base like mine, but are fuscous above, especially in 
the scape ; of the other two, one has the first and second 
joints and the other the second joint reddish; all three 
have the 2nd abdominal segment and the basal margin 
of the 38rd red. At first I thought I had discovered a 
new species (most lhkely of Aptesis), but 1 am inclined 
now to think they are only varieties of the very variable 
P. fumator (Gravenhorst described five varieties of
