Hill, and Plesiodema pmeiellum^ Zett. (also recorded by Reuter), is 
of much interest. In addition to these, we are pleased to note the 
occurrence of an extremely rare bug, Bothynotus pilosus, Boh., which 
is only previously recorded in Scotland in 1865, in which year some 
specimens were taken by the Rev. T. H. Marshall on the hills be¬ 
tween Loch Long and Loch Lomond. 
Last year (1893) the list of the previous year’s occurrences was 
supplemented by 15 species of Heteroptera, amongst which are many 
interesting forms, seven being new to Perthshire, while three are new 
to Scotland. 
It is also worthy of note that three additional specimens of Ela- 
tophilus nigricorjiis^ H. S., were procured, and that Plesiodema pine- 
tellu 7 n, Zett. (of which only a single specimen was procured in 1892), 
was found in some numbers. 
In regard to the Homoptera, we are not aware that anything has 
ever been done in Perthshire to this group, although in Buckton we 
find an occasional obscure note of Perthshire as a district in which 
certain insects have occurred. This occurs so seldom, however, that 
we may safely assume our district to be practically unworked. 
Probably Mr. Jas, Edwards, in his new work upon the Homoptera, 
may be able to record some bona-fide occurrences. 
Fully fifty species of these insects were collected in 1892, and 
in the summer of 1893 we were able to add four additional species 
to the list 
The total number of species of both sub-orders which have been 
collected in Perthshire during the past two seasons is therefore 115 
Heteroptera and 55 Homoptera—170 species in all, out of fully 700 
British species. Herewith is published a complete list of those in¬ 
sects which have been found in Perthshire up to date of publication. 
We are indebted to Mr. Edward Saunders, F.L.S., and Mr. James 
Edwards, F.E.S., for the naming of these insects.
