TEICHOPTEBA, PLANIPENNIA, AND ODONATA 



COLLECTED BY LORD WALSINGHAM IX THE VICINITY OF 

 GRANADA (STAIN; IN 1901. 



8\" ROBERT McLACHLAN, F.R.8., &c. 



During his recent visit to Spain (so pleasantly narrated in our 

 No. for October, 1901) Lord Walsiugham was good enough to collect 

 a few " Xeuroptera " for me near Granada, and I have found thenj 

 very useful. The district had previously been worked by Rambur 

 and Edouard Pictet, so much of the materials is only confirmatory 

 of their reports, but several species will be found in the list given 

 below that were not noticed by them. 



TRICHOPTERA. 

 Micrupttrus testacea, G-mel. — May 3ist, 1 $ . 

 Oligoplectrum maculatum, Oliv., also noticed by Rambur.— 4 examples, May 



21st and June 4th. 



PLANIPENNIA. 



MYEMELEONIDi. 



Palpares hispanus. Hag. — 2 & and 2 $ , middle of June. 

 Creagris plumbens, Oliv. — 3 5 , May 27th and middle of June. 



A^calaphidj:. 



Bubopsis agriuides, Ramb. — 1 <J , June 22nd. For more than thirty years I 

 had been endeavouring to procure this species, but in vain.* A careful study is 

 necessary in order to decide in what way or what degree this differs from B. ha- 

 matus, Klug, of Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, <kc. 



Ascalaphus icfericus. Charp. — 2 $ , May 27th, middle of June ; also taken by 

 E. Pictet. 



ICAHTISPrDJE. 



Maatispa styriava Poda. — 1 ? , June 22nd. This species is cited from Spain 

 by Burmeister, but I had never seen a Spanish example. The ordinary species of 

 that country appears to be if. perla, Pallas. 



Hemebobiid^:. 



Megalomus pyra/oides, Ramb. — 5 examples, June 16th and July 2nd. I am of 

 opinion that the small meridional species ordinarily included in Megalomus need 

 careful study, especially with regard to the male appendages. 



Hemerobius subnebulosus, Steph. — 1 2 , May 17th. 



CHBTSOPIDi. 



Sothochrysa stigmatica, Ramb. — 1 example, June 19th. Spread through the 

 Mediterranean region to Asia Minor, and possibly through Central Asia to the 

 Himalayas, for I have examples of the same or a representative species thence. 



Chrysopa Genei, Ramb. — 1 example, June 22nd ; reported also by Pictet. 



By a singular coincidence, only a few weeks after I had received this example, Dr. Chap- 

 man gave rne another, taken by him last summer at Cuenca.
