Also allied to P. elongatus, but differing from it, as does P. 

 clarus, by the paler colour of tbe body, aud tlie distribution of tbe 

 dark markings of tbe legs, bead, &c. Apparently more cdoscly allied 

 to elongatus tban to clarus. I possess four examples. 



Note 1 : — Psocus cosmopterns, McLacb., Trans. Ent. Soc. 3 ser., vol. v, 

 p. 350, can only be regarded as identical witb P. taprobanes. 

 Hag., of wliieb it is a slight local modification. I have it also 

 from Bengal, and it is probably distributed throughout the East. 



Note 2: — Psocus longiconiis, Fab. Pour examples (1(^, 3 ?) taken 

 by Capt. Lang at Masuri, North India (7000 feet), in June, do 

 not appear to differ in any way from European specimens, 

 thus indicating a very wide range, which it is jirobable is the 

 rule with the majority of the species of Psocidce.
