Small as this list is, I am doubtful whe- 
ther Stalices and Bembeciformis ought 
not to be referred to the next group. 
Most of the above are more or less local. 
Bombyliformis is the only species not 
occurring in Ireland. 
2. English. Twenty-two species may 
be referred to this group, which com- 
prises those species commonest in the 
South, diminishing in frequency as we 
advance northwards. The letters E. S. I. 
stand for England, Scotland and Ireland. 
Procris Globularise (E.) 
Anthrocera Trifolii (E. I.) 
... Lonicerte (E.) 
Smerinthus Ocellatus (E. S. I.) 
Populi (E. S. I.) 
... Tiliae (E. S.) 
Sphinx Pinastri (E. S.) 
Deilephila Euphorbite (E. I.) 
... Galii (E. I.) 
... Livornica (E. S. I.) 
Chserocampa Celerio (E.) 
... Elpenor (E. S. I.) 
Sesia Fuciformis (E. S.) 
Spliecia Apiformis (E. S. I.) 
Trochilium Chrysidiforme (E.) 
... Icbneumoniforme (E.) 
... Cynipiforme (E.) 
... Sphegiforme (E.) 
... Tipuliforme (E. S.) 
... Myopoeforine (E. S.) 
... Culiciforme (E. S. I.) 
... Formicsefonne (E. I.) 
This type comprises most of our rare 
species, which, but for their occurrence 
in Scotland and Ireland, would not have 
been referred here. 
3. Germanic or South-Eastern. Three 
species, as follows: — 
Chaerocampa Nerii 
Trochilium Vespiforme 
T roclii 1 i u m A n thra ci form e 
( Allantiforme ). 
All these are wanting in Scotland and 
Ireland. 
4. Atlantic or South-Western. One 
species, T. Scoliceforme. It is confined 
to Wales. I have some hesitation in re- 
ferring it here, Pamphila Actceon being 
the representative of this type among the 
Butterflies. But for its occnrrence in 
Scotland I should refer A. Minos here. 
5. Scottish or Northern. One species, 
A. Minos. Scotland and Ireland. This 
has as good a claim to be referred here 
as Ccenonympha Davits. 
6. The Highland or Mountain Type 
is unrepresented at present among the 
Sphingina, though Anthrocera Exulans, 
which occurs from the Pyrenees to the 
Scandinavian Alps, ought to occur in 
Scotland.
