*Z TRICHOPTEUA. 



much local information has been obtained. Still the pro- 

 irress has not been that which I could have wished. Other 

 branches of the science still hold almost undisputed sway 

 over the minds of workers, and Neuropterous insects, in a 

 general sense, are yet very much "out in the cold." I 

 propose, however, in these Notes to mention briefly the 

 principal discoveries in British Trichoptera made since the 

 publication of my Monograph, premising that this little 

 paper is not to be considered as supplementary, because I 

 intend very shortly, in another place, to publish a first sup- 

 plement, which could scarcely be done here, owing to the 

 descriptive figures and lengthy notes that must necessarily 

 form part of it; and it is further postponed in order to 

 enable me to complete some important synonymic additions 

 and corrections. These Notes are thus only preliminary. 



Family PHRYGANID^. 



Phryganea ohsoleta, Hagen. Three beautiful male ex- 

 amples were taken in 1867 at Rannoch, Perthshire, by 

 Mr. B. Cooke, jun., one of "which is in my collection, thanks 

 to the liberality of the captor's uncle, Mr. B. Cooke, of 

 Manchester. 



Family LIMNEPHILID^. 



Limneplulus nohilis, Trichop. Brit. p. 33, 5. It 'would 

 appear that the individual referred to is not the true nobilis 

 of Kolenati, but is lather decipiens of that author (Gen. et 

 Spec. Trichop. pt. i. p. 44, 5). Mr. Wormald has been 

 hitherto unsuccessful in his endeavour to take more speci- 

 mens. Mr. Barrett took a male in the neighbourhood of 

 Haslemere in 1867. 



Limnephilus {Chcetotaulius) striola, Kolenati, Gen. et 

 Spec. Trichop. pt. 1, p. 47, 9. This interesting addition to
