HTDROPTILA MACLACELANI, KLAPALEK, A CADDIS FLY NEW | 



TO BRITAIN. i 



BT KENNETH J. MORTON. 



This species, recently described by Klapalek,* has been standing ; 

 in iny collection many years without a name. It is by no means un- i 

 common at one small stream, at least, in our neighbourhood, and it has 

 probably a wide distribution in the country. 



The important characters are, as usual, found in the genitalia | 

 and accessory appendages of the ^ , which differ much from those of I 

 any other known European form, but on account of tlie dense clothing 

 of hairs which surrounds them, they are, as a rule, rather difficult of = 

 examination. j 



Viewing the abdomen from the side, the appendages are ordinarily much con- 

 cealed by the obtusely produced lateral parts of the last segment, but there are 

 visible a superior plate with upturned outer margin, 

 and, beneath the plate, the large penis usually much ] 

 exserted, dilated inwardly, and accompanied by two I 

 divergent, long, spiniform stimuli, slightly upturned I 

 at the tips. Towards the ventral surface the lateral I 

 projecting edges of the last segment terminate in a 

 wart-like space, with a few spinulose hairs. Viewed 

 from beneath the inferior appendages are seen to be 

 united, with a small angular projection between their i 

 dilated bases; the shaft of these appendages is long 

 and straight, the apex furcate, the lower and outer branch being the longer. The 

 other inner parts are obscure and difficult to define ; drawings made by me differ ' 

 somewhat from Klapalek's figure, but there is no reason to doubt the identity of the j 

 British insect with his. I

NOTE ON PENTARIA JBADIA, ROSENH. (= SERICARTA, MULS), 



WITH DESCRIPTION OF A SECOND SPECIES FROM THE 



PYRENEES -ORIENTALES. 



BY G. C. CHAMPION, F.Z S. 



Amongst a large number of Coleojyfe?^/ collected by myself during 

 an entomological excursion to Millas, on the River Tet, about midway 

 between Perpignan and Prades, made in company with M. Kene 

 Oberthiir and Dr. Sharp, on June 29th last, I find two species of the 

 genus Pentaria. One of these, of which I obtained both ^ and $ , is 

 referable to P. hadia, Eosenh. (= sericaria, Muls.), a rare species of 

 the warmer parts of Europe (Meridional France, Spain, Portugal, &c.) ;
