WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES, &C. 29 



certainly distinct from the two first. I have spe- 

 cimens of No. 3 from Mr. Winter, taken in the 

 Fens. Pictet's hirsutus may be one of these, but 

 at present I can give no precise information as to 

 that species. 

 Genus PJtaropteryx, Kolen., Gen. et Sp. Trichop. pt. 1, 

 p. 59. This genus may be readily distinguished from Ch^- 

 topteryx, to which it has some slight resemblance, by having 

 1, 3, 4 spurs. The anterior wings are obliquely rounded at the 

 apex, which is not much dilated, the apical margin is 

 sinuated ; the whole of the anterior wings, excepting the area 

 costalu, and the inner margin to the posterior branch of the 

 ramus thyrifer, is covered with minute granulations, from 

 each of which springs a short decumbent hair. This latter 

 character will serve to distinguish it from AnahuUa, wath 

 some species of which there is some resemblance in form. 



Phacopteryx hrevipennis, Curtis ; Limnephilus hrevi- 

 pennis, Curt. Phil. Mag. 1834, p. 125 ; P. grajiulata, Kolen. 

 Gen. et Sp. Trichop. pt. 1, p. 59, 1. Antennas reddish, 

 annulated with fuscous ; head, thorax and abdomen reddish- 

 fuscous ; legs testaceous, with black spines ; anterior wings 

 shining pale reddish-fuscous ; veins dark fuscous, three pale 

 spots, one at the thyridium, one at the arculus, and one at 

 the base of the third apical cell ; apical margin narrowly 

 dark fuscous, interrupted at the terminations of the apical 

 veins; app. sup, $ veiy large, leaf-like, angular; app. 

 intermed. broad, the apical half black ; app. infer, short, 

 pointed. Exp. alar. 10 lin. 



This species, though not actually included in the Synopsis, 

 was indicated by Dr. Hagen as occurring here (Ent. Ann. 

 1859, p. 91). I have two specimens taken by Mr. Fereday 

 at Scarborough, in September. It was unique in Curtis's 

 collection. Anaholia duhia, Steph., is very different.
