54 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



strongly coloured, and in the latter the fulvous patches spread 

 over almost the entire superiors, and there is even a band of 

 this colour across the inferiors. Some of the specimens 

 resemble very closely examples I have from Spain and southern 

 France, and are practically identical with ab. kispulla, Hiib. 

 I am aware, of course, that the Scilly Islands produce a very 

 similar form, but Lochinver is several hundreds of miles further 

 north ! 



Coenonympha tiphon.* — Common throughout the district on 

 bogs ; the usual highland Scotch form. 



C. pamphilus.*— Not infrequent at Inchnadamph ; hardly seen 

 at Lochinver. The examples brought home are very typical of 

 southern British specimens, and do not show any approach to 

 race scota Verity. 



Polyommatus icarus.* — Fairly common at Lochinver and 

 on Soyea, less so at Inchnadamph. The examples from the 

 latter locality (males only) show distinct traces of black spots 

 on the uppersides of the inferiors ; this does not apply to the 

 Lochinver specimens. The males and some of the females 

 of these are of an extremely bright blue, almost rivalling 

 Agriades bellargus in this respect. The blue coloration in some 

 of the females is extremely pronounced. The undersides are 

 typical. The size is, as in most Scotch specimens, larger than 

 southern British. 



Centra furcida. — Larvae beaten by Mr. Whittle from sallow 

 at Lochinver. 



Notodonta dromedarius. — Larvae on birch; Mr. "Whittle; 

 Lochinver. 



Pygaera pigra. — Larvae extremely common on sallow at 

 Lochinver, at the end of July. 



Palivipsestis or. — Larvae on aspen at Lochinver; not un- 

 common. 



P. duplaris, var. obscura, Tutt. — Common at sugar. 



Polyploca flavicornis* — Larvae scarce in both localities, 

 imagines not yet bred. 



Trichiura erataegi. — We each obtained a larva at Lochinver 

 on sallow. Mine has not emerged. 



Lasiocampa quercus, var. callunae* — Larvae on heather. 



L. rubi. — Larvae at Lochinver. 



Saturnia pavonia* — Larvae common on heather at Lochinver, 

 less so at Inchnadamph. 



Drepana lacertinaria. — Larvae at Lochinver; Mr. Whittle. 



JParasemia plantaginis* — At each locality. Scarce. 



Acronycta menyanthidis. — One larva on Myrica gale at Loch- 

 inver, now a pupa. 



A. euphorbiae, var. myricae. — One ichneumoned larva at 

 Lochinver. 



A. rumicis. — At sugar, the type form.
