Sericoris lacunana. — Common almost everywhere. 



Sericoris urticana. — Very scarce. 



Sericoris micana.— Links at Aberdeen (Z 2401). 



Sericoris irriguana. — Abundant on Creag-na-Dala-Bige (Dr. 

 White). I have found it in abundance on the same mountain, also 

 on Meall Glasail Beag and Carn Liath, near Braemar, and on Carn 

 Aosda, Carn Chrionaidle, and Caon-an-Tuire. I have no doubt it 

 occurs on all the higher mountains south of Braemar, it is abundant 

 on nearly all the Perthshire and Forfarshire mountains between 

 Braemar and Glen Shee. Flies in the sunshine, and and is always 

 abundant where it occurs. I never saw it much below 2000 feet.
