29G THE entomologist's record. 



Mcsoh'iiig cDiiijxir, n. sp. Subnitidus, suhtiliter alutaceus, clj'peo apiee depresso, 

 ill ? noil emiiiginato. Area metathoracis superomedia linearis, perangusta, 

 inforius dilatala ; posteromedia subcompleta. Segraentum primnm apicem versus 

 sensim dilatatuni, canalicula obsoleta, foveola basali parva. Alarum nervus trans- 

 versus analis intra medium fi-actus. Niger ; clypeo, mandibulis, palpis, fiavidis ; 

 his apicem versus fuscescentibus. Scutellum supra rufum. Pedes c. coxis rufi ; 

 tibiae postic£e subliavescentes vel testacese, apicem versus latins fuscse ; tarsi postici 

 fusci ; calcaria pallida. Long. 4 lin. J" Ignotus. 



Head transverse, much narrowed behind the eyes, black, except 

 the oral parts, which are yellow. AutenniB rather longer than 

 the body ; 1st joint black beneath (not yellow, as in most species). 

 Face beset witli pale hairs. Thorax wholly black, alutaceous, except 

 a shining spot under the wings, near the metathoracic suture ; lateral 

 arei« of metathorax (spiraculitera and pleuralis) well defined ; the 

 superomedia reduced to a mere line, widened at the bottom ; postero- 

 niedia distinct, rounded, acutely margined : mesonotum subtrilobate, 

 the sutures faintly indicated by shallow lines. Wings hyaline ; stigma 

 fuscous ; no areolet ; radial nervure almost straight. Abdomen sub- 

 fusiform ; 1st segment longer than the hind coxse, its apex three times 

 as Avide as the base ; central channel obsolete ; basal fovea minute, 

 triangular ; 2nd segment shorter than the 1st, longer than broad ; 8rd 

 shoi'ter than the 2nd, transverse ; none of the segments pale at the 

 hinder edges, lielly and plica ventralis black. 



Nearly allied to aulicus, Gr., (Iiihiita, Ilolmgr., etc. Belongs to 

 Sect. II., Divis. 1, A, a, x, +, p. 1H4, of Holmgr., Mon. Tryph. 

 About nine cognate species are described, several from the Scandi- 

 navian peninsula ; this sp. agrees with none of them, but is, perhaj)s, 

 nearest to fura.v, Holmgr., p. 13G.

 Ba^nua reiiiotus, n. sp. — Laevis, nitidus ; metathorax rugulosus, area superomedia 

 elongata, distincta, c. posteromedia confusa. Segmeutumprimum. $ latins quam 

 longius, basin \ersus angustatnm, bicarinatum, coriaceum, punctulatum. Niger, 

 segmento abdominis secundo postice, 3tio toto testaceo. Palpi testacei. Pedes 

 rufi, postici femoribus infuscatis, incrassatis. Long. 2| lin ^ Ignotus. 



Antennae 20-jointed, rather stout, shorter than the body, the first 

 three joints of the flagellum elongate, cylindric, especially the first. 

 Wings hyaline ; squamuhe testaceous ; stigma fuscous, triangular ; 

 1st abscissa of the radius only half as long as the 3rd ; 2nd obsolete ; 

 3rd quite straight ; no areolet. Coxae rufous ; tarsi longer than the tibia' ; 

 calcaria minute, hecond abdominal segment transverse, coriaceo- 

 punctulate and black as far as the middle, the posterior half smooth, 

 testaceous ; 3rd smooth, testaceous, slightly infuscated at the sides ; 

 4th and following smooth, black, shining. Abdomen sub-compressed 

 towards the apex, perhaps by accident, for the valvula ventralis is 

 pushed down, and the terebra unnaturally exserted, as if by force ; 

 this last is curved, and appears now as long as half the abdomen. 



I have placed this obscure and isolated species in the genus Bassns, 

 as being the nearest, but the 1st segment is narrower at the base than 

 in other species. The incrassated hind-legs resemble those of the 

 allied genus (h-t/iocottrus.

Trichoptera from Finmark. 



By HOBT. McLACHLAN, F U.S., F.L.S.. F.E.S., F.Z.S. 

 Mr. McLachlan reports on the Trichoptera as follows : — There are 

 about 25 specimens in all, in about nine species. More than one half
