PLANIFENNIA. 



Aphidivorous Planipennia were excessively scarce. The results 

 of beating hundreds of fir trees, &c., were seven individuals of Heme- 

 rohius (in five species), and two individuals of Chrysopa (in two 

 species), and it is believed that every specimen seen was captured ! 

 Panoepa germanica, L. — Fairly common ; the var. apicalis, Steph., is frequent. 

 Panorpa communis, L. — Two only. P. vulgaris, Imhoff. — Common. I am 

 obliged to consider the question of the specific identity or otherwise of communis 

 and vulgaris as still suh judice. An inspection of considerably over 100 

 examples in my collection from varied localities leaves me in doubt where one 

 form ends and the other begins : but wherever I have seen the two alive in the 

 same locality their distinctness has seemed to be practically certain. 

 Ascalaphus coccajus, W. v.— On the side of the Dent de Yaulion, near Le Pont, 



1?. 

 OsMTLUS CHETSOPS, L. — Source de I'Orbe, common. 



Hemerobius pellucibus, Wlk. — One out of a fir tree on the ridge above Lac Tor. 

 H. micans, Oliv. — One. H. humuli, L. ?.— Two $. H. strigosus, Zett. 

 (Jimhatus, Wesm.). — One. H. piNi, Steph. — Two (I think it probable that 

 fhaJeratus, Schnd., and punctatus, Q-ozsy, represent a larger form of this species). 

 Chrysopa prasina, Burm. (aspersa, Wesm.), and Ch. vulgaris, Schnd. — one of 

 each. 



PSEUDO-NEUROPTERA . 



PSOCID.^. 



It had never been my lot to visit a district in which these insects 



were so poorly represented. They were carefully looked for, and yet 



the few noticed below were all that could be found, with the exception 



of Elipsocus unipunctafus, which was tolerably common. 



PSOCUS FASCIATUS, F. (2) ; Ps. LONGICORNIS, L. (1). StENOPSOCUS (GeAPHOPSO- 



cus) CRUCIATUS, L. (1). Elipsocus abietis, Kolbe (2) ; E. (Mesopsocus) 

 UNiPUNCTATUS, MiiUcr, common. 



PEELID^. 



Individuals of Leuctra and Nemoura were abundant at small 

 streamlets, and on the lake sides, but the larger caudate forms were 

 verj' scarce. Mr. Morton has kindly looked over the materials, and 

 to him I am indebted for most of the determinations. 

 DiCTYOPTERTX INTRICATA, Pict. — At the spot where La Lionne bursts out of the 

 rock at L'Abbaye. 1 cJ . I am quite disposed to agree with Mr. Morton as to 

 the identification, but the apical neuration is much more regular than is usual 

 in the species, and the elevation is less than that at which it is usually found 

 in Switzerland. 

 Chlokoperla eivuloeum, Pict., 3 ? ; Ch. geammatica. Scop., 1 ? . 

 IsoPTEETX TRIPUNCTATA, Scop. — Two examples. 

 Leuctra. — Two or three species at present undetermined.
