136 TRICHOPTERA. 



pi. 19, fig. 7; Aphelocheira suhaurata^ Steph. III. p. 180 — 2; 

 Philopotamus longipenniSf Brauer, Neurop. Aust. p. 39, 

 (nee Rambur). This species was mentioned in the ^'Annual" 

 for last year, pp. 35-6, under the genus Aphelocheira. I 

 have since ascertained that it is occipitalis, Pict. It is not 

 a true Philopotamus and will probably form a new genus, 

 agreeing with Philopotamus in the possession of ocelli, but 

 differing in the form of the palpi and general habit. I have 

 specimens taken by myself in Devonshire much darker than 

 usual, and have seen similar ones taken by Mr. Wormald in 

 North Wales ; they are perhaps distinct. (^H. cohimhina, 

 Pict.?) 



Aphelocheira flavomacuJata, Stephens. Mr. Reading 

 met with a specimen of this at Cornwood, Devon, in June, 

 and I took two specimens at the same place in September. 



Forest Hill, l^th November, 1862. 



NOTES ON BRITISH NEUROPTERA. 



In the last year's " Annual" I mentioned that I hoped this 

 year to be able to furnish some notes on Neuropterous 

 insects generally. I regret that circumstances have pre- 

 vented my paying that attention to these insects that I should 

 have done, and am able to say very little on the subject. Of 

 the two families that have not yet received the benefit of 

 Dr. Hagen's published opinions, PerlidcB and Ephemeridae, 

 I possess a considerable number of species. I believe that 

 the Synopsis of the Ephemeridce will appear in the present 

 volume, and next year I hope to be able to add some species 

 to the list.
