THE BRITISH NATURALIST. 



[July 



Scoparia dubitalis. — Abundant along the coast, rarer inland. 



var. ingratella.— Occasionally (Mr. Horne). 

 Scoparia murana.— Widely distributed and not rare. 

 Scoparia lineola. Banks of the Don near its mouth (Zoologist 

 2403). 



Scoparia crataegalis. — Common at Braemar, Inverurie, &c. 

 (Prof. Trail). I have never succeeded in discovering this species. 



Scoparia atomalis. — Common everywhere (Prof. Trail's 

 Lepidoptera of Dee). Probably this species should be referred to 

 anibigualis, I have not yet been able to turn up variety atomalis in 

 either of the counties. 



Scoparia angustea. — Two at Aberdeen (Mr. Horne) 



Scoparia alpina. — Common or fairly common, in a few 

 restricted localities near Braemar.

 southern specimens. 



Crambus dumetellus.— Abundant on the banks of the Dee, 

 and elsewhere near Braemar, also on the Links north of Aberdeen. 



Crambus ericellus. — A few have been found on the mountains 

 bordering on Perthshire and Forfarshire. 



Crambus pascuellus. — Very rare, near Aberdeen and Peter- 

 head (Prof. Trail). I have never taken this species myself. 



Crambus furcatellus. — Exceedmgly local. Prof. Trail 

 records it as rather common on Little Craigendall, Braemar, at 2500 

 feet. I have taken it on the Beinn A'Bhuird range, it also occurs on 

 several of the mountains south of Braemar, but appears to be scarce, 

 and is only found at from 2500 to over 3000 feet elevation. 



Crambus margaritellus. — Local but not uncommon, Inverurie, 

 Ben-na-chie, &c. 



Crambus myellus. -Widely distributed but always scarce ; 

 on the links near Aberdeen, Muchalls, Banchory, Braemar, Fyvie, 

 and in one or two localities in the Parish of Chapel of Garioch. 



Crambus pinetellus. — Scarce, Fyvie and Benachie (Ben-na- 

 chie).
