200 L February, 



Tbichopteetx volans, Mote. 



This species must be placed immediately after T. sericmis, from which it differs 

 in its larger size, much shorter pubescence, sculpture of thorax, and longer elytra. 

 Taken by Mr. Champion in Scotland. (Ent. Mo. Mag., xv, 64.) 



Tkichopteetx longicornis, Mann. 



An old species, accidentally omitted. Distinguished by its long antennre, and 

 general sculpture. 



Trichoptertx Edithia, Matth. 



Distinguished by its griseous brown colour and long pubescence, the peculiar 

 form of the thorax, which is sub-quadrate, with tiie sides much rounded, and the 

 long, slender, bright yellow legs and antennse. Taken by Mrs. Wollaston, near Ton- 

 bridge. (Ent. Mo. Mag., viii, 152.) 



Thichopteetx lokgtjla, Matth. 



Differs from the allied species, T.picicorni$,m its elongate oval form, its shorter 

 and narrower thorax, longer and more slender antennae, and closer and finer sculp- 

 ture (Ent. Mo. Mag., viii, 152). Only four specimens of this species were known 

 when it was introduced. It is certainly rare, but probably less so than is 

 generally supposed, for I have taken it myself at Kepton,at Lincoln, and at Gumley, 

 always in a hot-bed. 



Tbichopteetx caebonaeia, Matth. 



This species rests on a single specimen taken by Mr. Matthews in Thoresby Park, 

 Nottinghamshire. It is allied to T. picicornis, but differs from that species in its 

 paler and more slender antennae, of which the eighth joint is linear and not incrassatc, 

 and also in the totally different sculpture of its thorax and elytra. (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 ix, 179.) 



Tbichopteetx eitulaeis, Allib. 



Yery near T. Montandonii, but distinguished by its more elongate form, and 

 longer thorax, and by the sculpture of the latter. It is not an uncommon species. 

 I have taken it in Lincoln, and it has occurred in other places. (Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 viii, 152). 



Tbichopteetx puscula, Matth. 



A very distinct species, apparently very rare : it is easily distinguished by its 

 short quadrate form, and the long brown hairs with which it is covered. Taken by 

 Mr. Matthews near Gumley. (Ent. Mo. Mag., viii, 152.) 



Ptilium maeginatum, Aube. 



This species is allied to P. Spencei, from which it may be distinguished by its 

 usually greater size, the greater width and closer sculpture of the thorax, which is 

 widest at the base, and has the basal margin evidently reflexed. Taken by Mr. Mat- 

 thews and Mr. Crotch, in the Cambridgeshire Fens, 1868. (Ent. Mo. Mag.,xiv, 36).
