INSECTS 



SIMULID.E 



Reptans is the only common species of the Sandflies, and is sometimes to be met with in 

 countless swarms in the coast denes. 



Simulium reptans, L. 



Simulium latipes, Mg. 



CHIRONOMID^: 



The beautiful and delicately-coloured members of the Midge family are everywhere 

 present. The local species are very numerous, but the difficulty of preserving their colours 

 and the confused state of the British list render their identification difficult.

The following small families have not been studied. The individuals of several species 

 of Gnats and Psychods are numerous enough, but at present they remain mostly unidentified.

TIPULIDjE (Sensu lato) 



The Crane flies, large and small, are very abundant, and a fair number of species have 

 been observed. The four kinds of Winter Gnats may all be seen on fine days throughout the 

 winter. The beautiful little Idioptera is to be found on the moors, and the Spotted 

 Acyphona in the woods of the coast denes. The large and handsome Pedicia and the Great 

 Crane fly are not uncommon. The Marsh Tipula (T. paludosa) seems to be more abundant 

 than the common Daddy Long-legs, and the large Orange Tipula is plentiful.
