Synopsis

A checklist of 576 species of lepidoptera has been produced for the islands of Rhum, Canna, Coll and Colonsay. Within these islands the status and habitat requirements of selected species, including some Scottish rarities, are discussed. Brief mention is made of some species which occur in other islands but which have not been recorded in the four sample islands. The status of Zygaenidae is discussed. This family is of outstanding interest in that five of the seven species recorded in Scotland occur in the Inner Hebrides. One is restricted to Skye, whilst another now appears to be confined in Britain to the Isles of Mull and Ulva.
