NOTES ON A SMALL COLLECTION OF NEUR- 

 OPTERA FROM THE ISLAND OF COLL. 



BY JAMES J. F. X. KIXG. 

 [Read 25th January, 1887.] 



During the summer of 1886, my friend Mr. William 

 Watson of Newfield spent some time on the Island 

 of Coll, and at my desire he collected all the Neurop- 

 tera which he observed. As so little is known 

 regarding the geographical distribution of these 

 insects in the Western Islands, it has occurred to me 

 that the information derived from working up this 

 small collection, if put upon record, might prove of 

 some value as a contribution to the Fauna of Coll. 

 Of the insects collected, two-thirds are Trichoptera, 

 some of the other families being merely represented. 

 It is, of course, to be understood that the following- 

 list is by no means exhaustive, as Mr. Watson, who 

 is a lepidopterist, did not pay special attention to this 

 group, but only collected such species as came in 

 his way. 



Odonata. 



Sympetrum striolatum, Charp. — Both sexes of this 

 species were taken. 



Pyrvhosoma ininium, Haw. — Common at a pond 

 where water-lilies were in profusion. 



Agrio?i, Sp. — Very common with the last. I have 

 not seen specimens, and cannot, therefore, ascertain 

 the species. 



Planipennia. 



Chvyso'pa flava, Scop. — The only species of this 

 family which occurred.
