24 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY<br />

Cairngorm, Glenmore Forest, in June 1895. Hitherto this<br />

species has been referred to under the name of C. rufibarbis,<br />

Mg., but as Meigen's description of auribarbis was printed<br />

on an earlier page in his " Systematische Beschreibung "<br />

than that of rnfibarbis, both being now regarded as the same<br />

species, the name here used must in future serve as the<br />

correct designation. I am indebted to Mr. Ernest E. Austen,<br />

of the British Museum, for drawing my attention to this<br />

point.<br />

Kingussie, July 1898 (Yerbury); three males and three<br />

females, Aviemore, July 1898 (Yerbury); seven males and<br />

seven females, Nethy Bridge, August 1898 (Yerbury); one<br />

male, Kingussie, July 1899 (Yerbury) seven males and two<br />

;<br />

females, Aviemore, July 1899 (Yerbury). I have followed<br />

Austen ("Ent. Mo. Mag.," 1898, pp. 36-38) in referring this<br />

handsome species to pudicus, Rond. Whether Fallen's<br />

htzmorrhoidalis is the same species seems to be still<br />

open to<br />

doubt if it is, then Rondani's name must be sunk as a<br />

synonym. At present<br />

it seems safer to call the insect pudicus,<br />

always bearing in mind that even its generic position may<br />

be called in question. For further particulars the note by<br />

Austen (I.e.]<br />

should be consulted<br />
