276 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



The most essential points of difference are the ventral pro- 

 cess, which is absent in A. reducta, and the upper cover and 

 sheaths ; the cover in reducta, in the side aspect, is sickle-shaped, 

 while, as far as I can see, the sheaths in reducta are simple, 

 strongly hump-backed before the apices, which are curved down- 

 wards, and rather inturned when seen from the side. 



I possess another male which I refer to A. ineridionalis. This 

 was taken by Father Navas at Moncayo, and was one of several 

 which I returned to him at the time under the name of reducta. 

 In referring these examples to reducta, I had before me the 

 fact that Mr. McLachlan has recorded this species from several 

 localities in Portugal (Eaton). I have not examined any of Mr. 

 McLachlan's material, but this should be done in view of the 

 existence of a new and closely allied species in Spain.

NEUEOPTERA AND TPJCHOPTERA TAKEN BY 

 DE. T. A. CHAPMAN IN SPAIN, 1906. 



By W. J. Lucas, B.A., F.E.S. 



A SHORT time ago Dr. Chapman was good enough to hand 

 over to me his captures of Neuroptera and Trichoptera made in 

 Spain during the past summer. Some of these specimens, in- 

 cluding the Trichoptera, were passed on to Mr. K. J. Morton, who 

 kindly assisted in the identification, especially of these last, of 

 which one — Adicella meridionalis, n. sp. — turns out to be new. 



Dr. Chapman's headquarters were at Vigo, June 18th-27th ; 

 Casayo, July 2nd-8th ; Branuelas, July 10th-16th ; Pontevedra, 

 July 19th-22nd. 



The insects belonging to the Neuroptera are all included in 

 the suborders Odonata and Planipennia, except two female Per- 

 lids of the genus Nemoura, which without males can scarcely be 

 identified. The remainder belong to the Trichoptera. For 

 purposes of comparison extra-British species are marked with 

 an asterisk.
