Elipsocus cyanoj)s, Rostock, in Scotland. — On June 26tli, 1880, I took a few 

 specimens of tliis species at Kilraun. — Id. 



Occurrence of CcecUius piceus, Kolbe, in Britain. — On the 25th July, 1881, I 

 had a day's collecting at Box Hill, on which occasion I captured three examples of 

 a CcBciliu.^, which proves to belong to the above-named species, described by Herr 

 Kolbe in 1882.— Id. 



[Mr. King kindly presented one of these specimens to me ; the identification of 

 the species has been confirmed by Herr Kolbe. It belongs to the difllcult " obsoletus 

 group " {cf. Ent. Mo. Mag., xix, p. 183), and is to be separated from the (apparently) 

 three or four other species of the group known as British, by its dark colour, com- 

 bined with some structural cliaracters to which Kolbe directs attention. The 

 original examples were from Saxony ; I believe it also occurs in Finland. — R. 

 McLachlan.] 



Occurrence of (Ecetis furva, Ramb., and other Trichoptera in Co. Monaghan, 

 Ireland. — I recently received from Miss A. B. Freeland, of Uddingston, a number 

 of Trichoptera collected in the neighbourhood of Glasslough, Co. Monaghan, 

 Ireland, during July last. Amongst these are three <? examples of (Ecetis furva, 

 Kamb., an insect that has as yet been rarely taken in these islands, the only recorded 

 localities, so far as I know, being Norfolk, near London, and the English Lake 

 district. 



As the locality is somewhat out of the way, it may be well to mention the other 

 species included in the collection. These are : Phryanea striata, L. (?, the single 

 specimen is mutilated), P. obsoleta, McL., Limnophilus marmoratns, Curt., Lepto- 

 cerus aterrimns, Steph., i. cinereus, Curt., Mystacides lonyicornis, L., Polycentropus 

 Jlavomaculatus, Pict., P. miiltigidtatus, Curt., Holocentropus picicornis, Steph., 

 Cyrnus trimaculatiis, Curt., l£cnomus tenellus, Bamb., Tinodes WcBneri, L., and 

 Lype phcEopa, Steph. — Kennetu J. Mokton, Carluke, N. B. : October \st, 1883.
