Genus XIII.— HYDROPSYCHE, Pictet. 



AntenncE very slender, generally longer than the wings, and sometimes a little 

 serrated within, the basal joint rather stout : maxillary palpi above as long 

 again as the labial, the terminal joint very much elongate and slightly 

 attenuated, irregularly wrinkled transversely, as is also the apical joint 

 of the labial: head pilose: eyes small: thorax subovate: wings rather 

 ample, anterior elongate, narrow at the base, the apex obliquely truncate. 



fSp. 4. reticulatus. Niger, alis subferrvgineis atro reticulatis maculatisque. 

 (Esp. Alar. 15 lin.?) 



Phr. reticulata. Linnc. — Turton (!) — Phi. reticulatus. Steph. Catal. 318. 

 No. 3602, note. 



Black: wings pale ferruginous, anterior transversely reticulated with black, 

 with some spots of the same on the hinder margin and on the disc; posterior 

 with a waved black fascia, and a marginal row of somewhat confluent black 

 spots. 



I have never seen this insect ; from the Linnean definition, it hardly belongs 

 to this genus, but I know not where else to locate it: from Panzer's figure 

 it seems allied to the foregoing insects, and probably the Linnean term, 

 '^venis atro reticulatis^" mei-ely refers to the appearance of reticulation 

 arising from the colouring. 



Turton gives this as indigenous, but I believe improperly.
