quentiiig conifers. I cannot discover that it has been anywhere de- 

 scribed, but there can be little doubt it is confused with the allied 

 species in some collections and lists. I possess about thirty-five 

 examples referred here. Males (with females) from Finmark {Chap- 

 man and Lloyd) ; Switzerland (Bergiin, Zeller ; Valais, Fallou) ; 

 North Italy (Macugnaga, Val Anzasca, Val Furva, Eaton, McLachlan) ; 

 Alps of Dauphine (Bourg d'Oisans and La Grave, McLachlan) ; Py- 

 renees Orientales {McLachlan), Eaux Bonnes {Eaton). Also females 

 without males (hence slightly less certain) from Switzerland (Bignasco, 

 Eaton ; Val Levantina, McLachlan) ; Tyrol (Cortina, Champion) ; 

 Austria {Brnuer) ; Carinthia {Zeller) ; Savoy (Chamonix, McLachlan) ; 

 Central Pyrenees {Eaton) ; various localities in Germany {Zeller). 

 Mr. Morton took both sexes (the types) at Rannoch, Scotland, in 

 June, 1898. 



There might be a possibility of confounding this with examples 

 (exceptional in neuration) of H. concinnus, Steph., var. qiiadrifasciatus, 

 Reuter. But both sexes of the latter differ widely in the anal parts, 

 for in H. concinnnt; the female abdomen ends in a prominent short 

 upturned ovipositor.* 



I have a species from North America (Colorado) so much like 

 Mortoni that I dare not say it is distinct.

PSEUDO-NEUROPTERA, PLANIPENNIA, AND TRICEOPTERA 

 COLLECTED AT KANNOCH IN JUNE, 1898. 



BY JAMES J. P. X. KINO, F.E.S. 



Towards the end of 1897 Mr. C. A. Briggs made a proposal to 

 the effect that an excursion should be arranged to Rannoch of such 

 entomologists as were more or less interested in Neuroptera, with the 

 view of working up this group especially, and particularly of capturing 

 JEschna ccerulea {horealis) and Sonmtochlora arctica. The result of 

 this proposal was that Mr. G. T. Porritt joined me in Glasgow on the 

 afternoon of June 0th ; we left the city by the early West Highland 

 train on the morning of the 7th, meeting Mr. Briggs, who had 

 travelled through from Lynmouth, at a wayside station outside of 



* I take this opportunity of stating that the North American H. longifrons. Walker, was in- 

 troduced by me iJourn. Linn Soc, Zuol., i.x, pp 272-273) into the European Fauna in error, and 

 the name .should be expunged from the lists. The European examples were //. concianus, var. 

 qf.adrijatciatiin, and I now feel sure the .\merican H. longijronx is distinct, but allied.
