The capture of the year was a pair of Agrypnia picta, Kol. This 

 species had hitherto been known as British from a specimen taken on 

 a gas lamp near London by Mr. Pryer. Over thirty years ago Mr. 

 McLachlan, when writing about this species, said that probably it 

 would be taken in the northern part of Britain, and in fact this 

 present record is due to him, as the specimens had been put down as 

 a variety of Phri/ganea ohsoleta, but something in my notes led him to 

 suggest that my insects might be A. picta ; on more careful examina- 

 tion I found that he was correct. 



The following is a list of the Trichoptera taken : — 



Phryganea varia, F., not uncommon. 



Agrypnia picta, Kol., $ and ? , Loch of Cliff. 



Colpotaulius incisus, Curt., this species was not uncommon along the various waters 



by sweeping the long grasses in the morning, some of the specimens are very 



small, as mentioned in the former list. 

 Limnophilus rhombicus, L., common near Loch of Cliff, the males measuring 32 to 



36 mm., and the females 35 to 36 mm. ; marmoratus, Curt., fairly common ; 



stigma, Curt., was very common near Burrafirth, there is not much to mention 



about this species except to say that the females vary in expanse of wings from 



23 to 35 mm., and the males from 28 to 30 mm. ; lunatus, Curt., a small ? 



was taken near Loch of Cliff, 25 mm. across wings ; vittatus, F., not uncommon ; 



affinis, Curt., fairly common ; auricula, Curt., not uncommon ; griseus, L., one 



specimen of this occurred at Virdafield ; sparsus. Curt., common. 

 Stenophylax latipennis, Curt., common ; permistus, McL., was very common at sugar, 



I did not examine them at the time, and thus passed them over as large lati- 



pennis, the expanse of wings, males, 35 to 42 mm., females, 39 to 44 mm. 

 Menophylax impunctatus, McL., var. zetlandicus, McL., only a few taken at Loch 



of Cliff. 

 Micropterna lateralis, Steph., not uncommon, males varied from 27 to 32 mm. in 



expanse of wings ; sequax, McL., one $ occurred at Haroldswick by sweeping. 

 Drusus annulatus, Steph., common. 

 Lepidostoma hirtum, F., common. 



Leptocerux fulvus, Ramb., common ; cinereus, Curt., common. 

 Mystacides azurea. Curt., common. 

 CEcetis ochracp.a. Curt., common. 

 Cyrniis trimaculatit s , Curt., common. 

 Tinodes wrsneri, L., common. 



I'lectrocnemia conspersa, Curt., a few specimens of this were taken. 

 Rhyacophila dorsalis, Curt., I did not see so many specimens of this as I did on 



my former visit.
