•-^O NOTES OX BRITISH TRICHOPTERA, 



Phri/ganea minor, Curtis. A specimen of this very local 

 species was taken at Lewisham by Mr. Fenn, v^ho kindly 

 gave it to me. 



Agrypnia Pagetana, Curtis. Several examples of this 

 have been taken in the Norfolk Fens by Mr. Winter. 



Agrtjpnia picta, Kolen., Gen. et Species Trichop. pt. 1, 

 p. 79, '2. Xew to Britain. In form somewhat similar to 

 the last, but more robust. Antennae brown, annulated with 

 dark fuscous ; body totally dark shining fuscous, the last 

 abdominal seorment above is fiiraished with a frins^e of lono; 

 orange-coloured hairs, which conceal the appendages ; legs 

 testaceous, the tips of the joints darker ; anterior wings 

 greyish-brown, or grey with brownish markings, and a few 

 pale greyish spots; veins fuscous; posterior wings semi- 

 hyaline, with a brownish tinge. Exp. alar. 1 inch. 



A single example of this was taken by Mr. T. Chapman 

 on Skiddaw, in July, 1854, and identified by Dr. Hagen 

 during his visit. On the Continent, it is found in Silesia 

 and Sweden. The appellation " picta" is a misnomer, unless 

 taken comparatively. 



Colpotaulius (^Limnephilus) inchus, Curtis, was common 

 near Merstham, Surrey, on the '22nd June ; and has been 

 also taken by Mr. Wormald at Willesden, and by Mr. Winter 

 in the Fens. The habit of this species is to conceal itself 

 under the dead leaves, kc, on the sides of the ponds or canals 

 where it occurs, running about with great activity when dis- 

 turbed. In appearance and habits it is so dissimilar to the 

 rest of its congeners, that I think Kolenati's genus may be 

 advantageously preserved. 



Limnephilus pavidus, Hagen, is mentioned in the " Ento- 

 mologist's Annual" for 1859, p. 77, as contained in the 

 British Museum. It is without any label, but is supposed 

 10 have formed part of Dr. Leach's collection. When
