A HISTORY OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE 



attitude combined with their hairy covering gives the insects a moth-like appearance. The hind- 

 wings are rather shorter but broader than the fore-wings, and have a folding anal area. The 

 antennae are many-jointed, long, and slender. Caddis-flies have very feeble powers of flight, and 

 are never found far from water. The larvae are aquatic and inhabit cases, constructed by them- 

 selves, of small stones or shells, grains of sand, bits of stems and leaves of water-plants, etc. ; their 

 food is mainly vegetable, but they are probably insect-eaters also. 



The species enumerated in the subjoined lists have all been collected recently in Nottingham- 

 shire, mostly by the Rev. Alfred Thornley (A.T.), Mr. Eland Shaw (E.S.), Miss Alderson (E.M.A.), 

 Mr. J. T. Houghton (J.T.H.), and the present writer (J.W.C.). Very little attention has hitherto 

 been given to these insects, and many more species will doubtless be added in the near future.
