28 [Jaiuuii-y, 1901 



A number of interesting boreal Trichoptera were taken on the 

 Dovrefjeld, especially at tbe lakes, which are a feature of the Fokstuen 

 locality. These insects will be more fully referred to in the lists 

 which follow. The running waters produced no Caddis-flies at Foks- 

 tuen excepting Apatania. Nymphs of Rliyacophila were found in the 

 Fogsaa. On the whole I believe we were too early for most of the 

 Dovrefjeld Trichoptera, certainly so as regards the species attached to 

 streams. 



Principally owing to the continued cold, we returned to Domaas 

 on July 6th. Here we found Erehin ligea out, and Argynnis Aglaia 

 in abundance, but curiously enough A. Niohe, which Mr. Champion 

 took here in profusion in 1889, was either remarkably scarce or I 

 failed to find the right locality for it. An addition to my list of 

 Odonata was made by the capture of ^schna grandis. 



On July 9th we started homewards by way of the Romsdal. We 

 had little opportunity of collecting on the way. A large fritillary, 

 likely A. Aglaia, was common, and so was P. Maera. At Fladmark 

 one of the blues was in numbers, even eclipsing those of L. Fheretes 

 at Domaas. 



We remained two days at Molde, where the weather became once 

 more fine and warm. Butterflies and Dragon-flies were fairly abun- 

 dant, but no additional species of either was taken. The streams were 

 now producing their quota of insect life, and Bhyacophila nubila, the 

 Scandinavian representative of our common dorsalis, was taken, along 

 with several other interesting Trichopiera. 



From Molde we sailed direct to England. 



Lists of the Trichoptera, Neuroptera-Planipennia , Odonata, and 

 Rhopalocera taken, follow. 



TRICHOPTERA. 



JS^euronm ruficrus, Scop., common at Saeterstoen. — N. lapponica, Hagen, one 



g at Saeterstoen, where the species was probably just coming out at the time we left. 



Phryganea striata, Linn., taken in great abundance at the lake near Saeterstoen, 



also frequent at Fokstuen and observed at Christiansand.- — P. obsoleta, McL., taken 



at Domaas, and common at the lakes near Fokstuen. 



Agrypnia picta, KoL, came out slowly at Saeterstoen, where two $ and one ? 

 were taken ; a long series could have been secured at Molde, but they were past 

 their best as regards condition. — A. Pagetana, Curt., a curious form, no doubt Mr. 

 McLachlan's var. hyperborea, was found at the Fokstuen lakes ; it has both pairs of 

 wings somewhat lanceolate, quite different from the type ; the only J taken mea- 

 sures in expanse 20 mm., while the females range from 18 to 24 mm. 



Grammotaulius signatipennis, McL., one newly emerged example of this inter- 

 esting species at Fokstuen.
