TWO NEW SPECIES OF CADDICE-FL1ES. 

 By NATHAN BANKS. 



The following two species of caddice-flies were collected at 

 Wellington, British Columbia, by two local collectors, Rev. G. 

 W. Taylor and Mr. Theo. Bryant. Both are large and striking 

 species, one handsomely marked for a caddice-fly ; the other of 

 rather peculiar shape. One of them constitutes a new genus, 

 GlypJtopsyche, which includes also a species recently described 

 as Glyphotcelius bellus. I have named the species in honor ot 

 the collectors, who have done so much to make known the insect 

 fauna of their region.
