128 DR. A. RANDELL JACKSON ON THE 



identical with his Hungarian examples of M. gulosus L. 

 Koch. I have also exchanged specimens with Dr. de 

 Lessert, and there is no doubt of the identity of M. sublimis 

 Camb. with M. gulosus L. Koch - de Lessert. Mr. Simon has 

 very kindly given me an example of M. Grouvellei Camb-Sim., 

 and I think it is identical as a species with our M. sublimis. 

 The lamella characteristica in this specimen does however 

 differ a little from that of our form (Plate VII., 3a, 3b). This 

 difference, if constant, would, I think, be enough to show that 

 the range of variation (possibly local) was considerable, but it 

 hardly reaches specific value, and in other respects the speci- 

 men does not differ from British examples of M. sublimis, 

 which themselves show a certain amount of slight variation in 

 the lamella characteristica. 



M. sublimis Camb. seems confined to elevated moors and 

 mountains in this country. It reaches the summits of 

 Snowdon (3,500 feet) and Scafell Pike (3,210 feet), but I have 

 no exact record of its lowest station. 



When found it occurs on the ground under stones, and also 

 amongst moss and herbage. It has occurred freely amongst 

 the mountains of Scotland, Northern England, and North 

 Wales, where it is adult in September.

 xxvii., 1906, pp. 90 and 91, and figures. 



(Plate VII., figs. 4, 4a, 4b, 4c.) 



Tibiae i. and ii. are each furnished with a long strong spine 

 on the posterior border between the middle and apex. 



In the male each palpal tibia shows a long narrow apophysis 

 on the outerside. 



The lamella characteristica is large and prominent. It is 

 toothed along its upper border, the exact number of teeth not 

 being constant. The lower border presents a rounded 

 tuberosity. The palpal tarsus is only slightly gibbous above ; 

 it is not produced into a conical prominence.
