1. T. nofafus Statin. : T have taken this freely at Loch Maree and 



at Braemar ; while Mr. C. G. Lamb has taken it at Padatow 

 in Cornwall. 



2. 2\ consobrinus Walk. : also occurring freely at Braemar and in the 



New Forest. The specimens from which the species was 

 described came from the " moory uplands of Wicklow." 



3. T. insignis Stann. : Col. Yerbury took several specimens of this 



species at Porthcawl in Glamorgan from May 23rd to June 

 2nd, 1903, and also this (or a very closely allied) species 

 at Culbin Sand Hills in Elgin on August 4th, 1S99 ; these 

 latter specimens seem to have the basal joint of the front 

 tarsi longer, thinner, and whiter, legs paler, abdomen bronze 

 rather than green, genital lamellje longer and narrower 

 and bearing fewer long hairs, and the antennjc with the basal 

 joint less darkened above ; these specimens might very pos- 

 sibly be fresh and bright individuals of a second brood. I 

 have a record of T. insignis from Dr. P. B. Mason's collection, 

 probably from Deal, and Mr. C G. Lamb took a male at 

 Padstow in Cornwall in June, 1901. Col. Yerbury took it 

 commonly near Nairn in July, 1904. 

 4. T. ripicola Lw. : Col. Yerbury took this species at Porthcawl on 

 June 23rd, 1903. It is allied to T. insignis but abundantly 

 distinct ; the genital lamellae bear remarkably long curved 

 black hairs, and the basal joint of the front tarsi is only 

 about as long as the next four joints together. It was 

 originally described from the Italian coasts, but I possess 

 specimens from Losoncz in Hungary.

1 (2) Wines with a oonspicuous darkened space, ondin- in a snow white tip... 



2 (1) Wings without any conspicuous markings. 



3 (4) Face ochrcous ; antenna; almost wholly black ...2. rfwrrtZ/s Lw. 



4 (3) Face whitish ; antennae almost wholly orange 3. principal ix Lw. 



Two other species occur in France, P. regnJis, which is a large 

 species with the basal joint of the hind tarsi spinose, and P. Bigotii, 

 a small species with white face and black antenna^. 

 1. P. nohilitatm L. : a very pretty and very common species, which 

 often occurs in hundreds about the edges of puddles on 

 paths in woods. My records extend from Penzance to 

 Worcester, and I have no doubt that it occurs much farther 

 north. Y 2
