RE-DISCOVERY OF AGRYPNETES CRASSICORNIS, McLAcn. 



BV ROBERT McLACHLAN, F.R.S., &c. 



With reference to my notes at ante p. 270, I have this day re- 

 ceived from Prof. Sahlberg a female of A. crassicornis, with the 

 information that one was taken near Helsingfors last summer by Herr 

 Weurlandes, a student in the Museum there, and that on searching 

 over the insects placed in the Museum as Agrypnia Pagetana two 

 further females were found (one of which is presented to me), which, in 

 their unexpanded condition, had been overlooked by myself, and by 

 those who examined the collection in Finland. The resemblance is 

 very considerable, and the antennae are much finer than in the ^J. It 

 has the same short thick palpi as in the ^ , and the middle legs are 

 more dilated than in that sex. The apex of the abdomen is different. 

 A full account with figures will be published in Finland.
