OCCURRING ABOUT HOLYWOOD. 153 



Ula. (e Tipularits rostratis. Meig.J 



Antennae porrectas ; IT-articulatse ; articulis 2 baseos brevibus 

 crassis, reliquis oblongis, subsequalibus : palpi incurvi quadri-articu- 

 lati, articulo ultimo longiore : alae incumbentes pubescentes. 



U. mollissima. 



Head cinerous yellow : 2d joint of antennse yellow, the following 15 

 brown, pubescent, with a long hair about the middle of each: 

 palpi long, pubescent : 2d joint thickest, the rest increasing in 

 length and diminishing in thickness, the last as long as the 2 pre- 

 ceding : thorax dull yellow, clothed with loose scattered hairs : 

 poisers pale brown : abdomen and feet brown, pubescent : base of 

 thighs yellowish : wings brownish cinereous, with a faint purple 

 line dividing the anterior long cell of the disk, the 'whole surface 

 thickly clothed with fine hairs : nervures disposed like those of 

 Limnohia immaculata, but the two forked ones of the margin are 

 here replaced by three simple nervures, proceeding from a small 

 middle cell as in L. pictipennis. (Length .23; antennae .1; 

 exp. .58.) 



A single male taken in a shady spot by a rivulet the begin- 

 ning of October. 



Limnobia decora. Cinerea ; thorace fusco lineato, ahdomine 

 silaceo, alls antice testaceis macula punctisque costce hya- 

 linis. 



Belongs to division C. resembling L.fasciata, but the ground colour 

 of the wings is pale brown, only the costal spots being whitish 

 hyaline, the nervures of the posterior portion are bordered with 

 testaceous. The general disposition of the markings may be 

 derived from that of L.fasciata, supposing the testaceous colour 

 diffused along the anterior half, and the spots on the nervures of 

 the rest to become irregularly confluent. 



L. senilis. Lurida : ahdomine, antennis, pedibusque fuscis, 

 alls obscuris. (Long. .-S ; dilat. .46.) 



The neuration nearly as in division F. (Z. nemoralis, ^c.) but the 

 middle cell is smaller, producing both the anterior nervures from 

 its anterior angle, and the fork of the first is nearer to the margin. 

 Resembles Ula mollissima in general character, but the short 

 antennae and palpi are like others of the Limnobiae. Colour of 

 the wings as in that species, and their surface pubescent : base 

 of the thighs yellowish. 

 Common in shady spots in autumn.
