and almost on the same surface, are two sub-eroet specially directed bristles. 

 Complete rows of long postero-dorsal and post ero- ventral bristles. Anterior 

 surface merely ciliated. Tibia strong, postero-ventral spine at two-thirds. 



Mid-leg : — Femur. Ventr.d row, 4-6 irregular bristles, reaching to one half, 

 thence to apex coarsely and evenly ciliated. Anterior row, short bristles to one-half. 

 Sub-apical whorl of bristles, complete save ventrally. Tibia, slightly narrowed below 

 knee. Anterior spines beyond one-half and two-thirds. Irregular row — about six — 

 postero-dorsal spines. Two posterior spines opposite anterior at beyond one-half 

 and two-thirds. 



Hind-leg: — Femur. Complete row, sub-equal, short, antero-dorsal bristles, 

 a similar one of longer bristles placed antero-ventrally. Femur curves anteriorly 

 and is almost bare posteriorly, but for a tuft of loose bushy hairs at the base. 



Tihia. — About nine short anterior spines. Five similar antero-ventrally, the 

 first before one-half, the last subapically placed. How of short posterior-dorsal bi'istles 

 along the whole length. At two-thirds a long spine occurs, and from this to apex 

 are about twelve very short bristly hairs, forming a coarse ciliation. Whole tibia 

 slightly curved. All tibial species show an irregular whorl of spines. 



I took this female from a bramble leaf in Glen Ashdale, near 

 Whiting Bay. It was very conspicuon.s among a host of P. Inrdaria, 

 E.. Moi^ellia Jwrtoynim, Pm.,anrl probably also P. aJholineafa, Fm. But 

 being without a net the presence of the last I was unable to settle. 

 The ^ has twice come under my observation, on both occasions in 

 company with its congeners.

 NEW TO BRITAIN.

The credit of taking this interesting addition to the British list 

 is due to my friend iMr. William Evans, who has already been success- 

 ful in finding some unexpected species of Triclioptera in his investiga- 

 tion of the Fauna of the Forth area. This insect was met with by 

 him on July 7th at the River Laggan (Forth), just at the village of
