appendices curved outwards, cylindrical, but furnished beneath with a 

 rounded scale ; penis cylindrical, curved upwards, and slightly excised 

 at the apex, a hook on each side. 



Madeira. 



This species resembles S. aspersm in its coloration, but is smaller, 

 and the appendices are arranged in a totally different manner, to 

 which S. alpestris alone offers any analogy ; besides, the vulvar scale in 

 the female being quadrifid, it is impossible to confound it with any 

 kuown species of Stenophylax. 



It bears much resemblance, in size and coloration, to Limnephilus 

 hirsuttts and allies.
