Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera from Central 

 Wales. — The species enumerated in the following list were among 

 the very few insects I obtained at Llandrindod Wells, Radnorshire, 

 last August. For their identification I am indebted to Mr. Eaton 

 (Ephemeroptera) and to Mr. Morton (Plecoptera and Trichoptera). I 

 have also to thank Mr. H. Campion and Mr. Lucas for kind assistance 

 in obtaining this authoritative determination. Three or four species 

 of the Planipennia were also secured, and these will be referred to by 

 Mr. Lucas in his paper on the species of the order noted in Britain 

 during 1912 :— 



Ephemeroptera. — Ephemerella ignita, Poda ; E. notata, Eaton ; 

 Baetis rhodani, Pict. ; Heptogenia sulphurea, Mull. ; Ecdyurus venosus, 

 Fab. Disturbed from alder bushes growing on margin of the river 

 Ithon at Shaky Bridge. Nearly all were of the female sex, and in 

 subimago stage. They matured in the pill-boxes, and remained alive 

 for several days. 



Plecoptera. — Chloroperla grammatica, Poda ; only one specimen 

 captured. Leuctra genictclata, Steph. ; several seen. L. Mapalcki,
