194. SCOTTISH TRIP 1939 21st June 1939. Left Dublin by 6:40 train for Belfast, Glasgow & Aviemore. 22nd June 1939. Arrived at Aviemore at 2.33 P.M. & after cup of tea walked up birch woods N. of Craigellachie & swept birches &c. for a couple of hours. A perfect day, cloudless till 2.30 PM., but then cloudy with a slight wet mist, which lasted all night. Wind strong NE-E & cool, but in shelter of hill & birch wood hymenoptera not scarce. [44 specimens kept: these labelled 10/2/1941! AWS] N. slope of Craigellachie, Aviemore, E1. = E. Inverness 3 till 5 P.M. [Labelled Aviemore E1. AWS. 22.6.39] Bombus lucorum 1♀ only seen. Cimbex femoratua 1♀ in birch Athalia lineolata? 1♀ Dolerus picipes 1♀. Myrmica ruginodis: not kept Formica fusca seen low down: not kept F. rufa abundant all through upper parts of wood: none kept Plectiscus sp.? 1♂, 23-seg. ant. 195. 22.6.39 cont. Craigellachie, cont. Orthocentrus radialis Th. 2♀♀, with straight 1st abscissa of radius & quite distinct from my Irish ♀♀ so named by Roman with curved 1st abscissa which must therefore be as I originally thought fulvipes Grav. Stenomacrus 1♀, which runs to var. of sylvaticus with broad areolet +/- distinct, but does not agree with description in Schmiid. which I suspect is a "hybrid" one. Caompolex sp.? small, black & red ♂ Omorga? sp.? 2♀♀, long terebra, red legs, 30 & 31 seg. ant. Campoplegid: very nice ♀, black, short thick terebra, 29 seg. ant. yellow & black hind legs. Mesochorus, testaceous, 1♂ M. sp.? 1♂, 29-seg. ant. M. sp. 1 very small ♀, 26-seg. ant. Barylypa? sp.? 1♂. Atrometus sp.? 1♂. Exothecid 1♂ = Colastes hariolator 1♂, 37-seg. ant. Apanteles 1♀ sp. Sect. IV, very near circumscriptus but 2nd tergita rugose like the 1st. A. 3♀♀ = decorus Hal. Rhogas heterogaster Wesm. √ 1♂, & 41-seg. antennae, with smooth pleura which so far as I can see agrees with Wesmaels' description & not with modestus. AWS. 12.2.41. Eubadizon extensor 1♂ Calpytus sp.? 1♂, 28-seg. ant. (cf. segmentatus Marshall). Leiophron edentatus Hal. 1♀ Gnamptodon pumilio 1♀. Opius irregularis 2♀♀, one with curious dull abdomen, possibly due to shrivelling & immaturity.
