stated that the British Museum possesses HeJicopsyche-G^^e^ from 

 near Oporto. 



N.B. — Two ? from near Cea are smaller, and probably represent 

 a second Portuguese species ; they are in bad condition. 



The distribution of ReUeopsyche in Europe is gradually develop- 

 ing. 



Lepidostoma fimhriatum, Ed. Pict. — A (^ from the slopes of Foia, 

 near Monchique, and a $ from near Villa Eeal, may be referred here. 

 The species is probably distinct from the common L. liirtum, P., but 

 if so, the characters are slight. 



LEPTOCEEID^. 



Bercea dira, McLach. — A ^ from the slopes of Poia agrees - 

 sufficiently witb the other known examples (from Turkestan and I 

 Piume) to warrant its identification therewith. A ? from Cea iss 

 doubtful (so also is another ? from near Monchique, collected by theej 

 late Camille Van Tolxem). 



* Leptocerus aJho-gvMatus, Hagen. — Xear Cintra, 5 ,^ , 31st May. 



Leptocerus incequalis, McLacb. {n. sp.). — Xear Almodovar and(' 

 Sao Barnabe, 9 ^J, 1 $ , 8th and 12th May. Of the Group of LL 

 cinei^eus ; with peculiar asymmetric anal structure in the J" . 



* Leptocerus cinereiis. Curt. — This wide-spread species appears tc< 

 be replaced by others allied thereto in the South of Portugal, but omn 

 ^ (not in good condition) from between Cintra and Lisbon does noo 

 seem to differ structurally from the typical condition. 



Leptocerus Braueri, Ed. Pict. — Near Monchique, 18th May, 2 (J; 

 I formerly referred the Spanish types of this as only a form of thi 

 protean L. cinereus, but further examination of one of them in coi 

 parison with the Portuguese examples, convinces me that Z. Braueri 

 is a distinct species. 



Leptocerus cuneorum, McLach. {n. sp.). — Near Almodovar ani 

 Sao Marcos da Serra, in May, 7 J^, 2 ? . A good species of thI 

 cinereus Grroup, but very much resembling in colour the pale variety o( 

 L. aterrimus, Steph. 



* Mystacides azurea, L. — At Cintra, end of April, and at Villa Nov^ 

 de Gaia, near Oporto, 20th June. Those from the former localitt 

 are as large as M. nigra:
