200 [February, 



25. BhypliolopJius varius, Mg. : this rather handsome species 

 occurred freely near here in a wood in the fen at Chippenham last 

 iSeptember ; Stephens reputed it as British with a query, and Curtis 

 without a query, while in February, 1870, Mr. B. Cooke sent me a 

 specimen named Erioptera varia, but his specimen has the last vein 

 short ; what it is I cannot make out at present. 



26. a. Jicsmorrlioidalis, Ztt. : I captured four specimons of this 

 a few days after taking JR. varius, in another marshy wood near the 

 fen at Exniug. 



27. B. similis, Staeg : one specimen at Braemar in July, 1873. 



28. Dactylolalis 'FrauenfeJdi, Egger : the late Mr. J. C. Dale 

 caught many specimens of this, and recognised it as a new species, 

 which he called Limnohia alpicoJa, and even saw it was generally dis- 

 tinct from any other British species, but I do not think he ever 

 described it. One specimen out of several which he gave me has on 

 the label attached to it " Lakes," hence I suppose it occurs in the 

 " Lake District." 



29. Limnophila punctum, Mg. : "Walker's L. punctum is only i. 

 dispar, Mg., both from description and types, but I caught a true L. 

 punctum at Bannoch in June, 1870. 



30. L.fuscipennis, Mg. : in the New Forest last June ; a clear 

 character separating this and L. discicollis, Mg., from any Limnophilcs 

 I know is that the base of the second sub-marginal cell is at a right 

 angle with the prsefurca. 



31. L. lucorum, Mg. : Walker's i. lucorum is only L. ochracea, 

 Mg., but true L. lucorum occurred freely at Lyndhurst and Lymington 

 last June. L. lucorum has the marginal cross-vein at the base of the 

 fork, or exceedingly near the base. 



32. L. sepium, n. sp. : this is probably Zetterstedt's L. lucoru7n, 

 var. /3, and had I not taken numerous specimens of each, I should have 

 thought it immature L. lucorum ; however, I am now convinced it is 

 distinct, as follows : — 



L. lucorum. 

 Pleuree clear light grey, never yellowish. 

 Marginal cross vein at fork. 



<J genitalia brownish-yellow. 



L. sepium. 

 Pleurae always yellowish. 

 Marginal cross vein after fork (because 



the fork is longer). 



J genitalia more reddish and more hairy. 



In L. sepium also the antennse are more brownish after the base rather than 



blackish, and the lines on the thorax are more indistinct and the middle one never 



doubled, the abdomen is more ochreous, with an indistinct dorsal line, also the wings 



are a little paler.
