INSECTS 



NEUROPTERA 



Mr. Brown's list of Neuroptera in his account of the ' Fauna of 

 Burton-on-Trent ' (Natural History of Tutbury, pp. 171-4, 1863) is 

 almost the only general authority for the county with regard to this 

 order. He records ten species of the Odonata, but treats everything 

 else in a very summary manner. Mr. G. Pullen has of late years 

 noticed fourteen species of Dragonflies, chiefly in the vicinity of Little 

 Eaton. Upwards of thirty years ago Mr. Brown's collection was ex- 

 amined by Mr. Robert MacLachlan, F.R.S., and the Rev. A. E. Eaton, 

 both of whom also collected Neuroptera in Derbyshire at that period. 

 The species vouched for by them in the present work are either recorded 

 from this county in MacLachlan's Monographs of Tricboptera (1865 and 

 1874-80), and an article by Eaton on the Hydroptilidas (1873), or are 

 given from the latter's recollection.
