WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF XEW SPECIES. CCC. 'J/ 



Dr. Hagen was here this summer, he asrain, at mv request, 

 examined the specimen, and then seemed to think it might 

 be foreign, but there is no evidence to this effect, and it has 

 every appearance of a British specimen. It is the only one 

 known, and has a shght resemblance to Z. rhombicus, but 

 the wings are narrower and more shining, the fenestrated 

 spot is narrow and curved, and at the apex of the wings there 

 is a tendency to form a semilunate spot, as in vitrafus. The 

 upper margin of the last abdominal segment is produced into 

 an obtuse point between the app. sup., and covered with 

 short black setae. Appendices superiores triangular at the 

 base, curved strongly upwards, the extreme points turned 

 downwards : appendices inferiores long and pointed, turned 

 inwards and upwards. It is to be hoped that its claims to a 

 plaoe in our lists will soon be settled one way or another. 



LimnepliUus mannoratus, Curt., has been bred by Mr. 

 Parhtt. The case was composed of small stones, pieces of 

 twig, shells, seeds of water plants, &c., roughly agglutinated 

 together, and generally provided with a large stone to 

 balance it. L.Jiavicornis he has also bred from a similar 

 case. 



Linniephilus horealis, Zett., Kolen. Several specimens 

 of this have again been taken by Mr. Winter in the Fens. 

 Mr. Scott met with a specimen near Enniskillen, in Ireland, 

 and an old specimen exists in !Mr. Curtis's collection. 



Limnepkilus eleganSf Curtis. Mr. Gregson kindly sent 

 me two specimens taken in Delamere Forest, a new locality. 

 This is the same as L. sujivfer, Zett., Kolen. 



Limnepkilus hirsutus. Considerable confusion has arisen 

 about this species. We have in England three {perhaps 

 four) closely allied, but very distinct species. 



a Discoidal cell in anterior wings not longer than its foot- 

 stalk (j-amus discoidal Is before its furcation).
