HYDROPSYCHID^. — CYENUS. 175 



longer one in the middle ; intermediate and posterior each with two pair, 

 one pair at the apex, the other pair in the former towards the base, and in 

 the latter below the middle. 



From the foregoing genera this may be known by the anterior 

 tibiae being furnished with three spurs, two at the apex, and one in 

 the middle, and from the following, which agrees in that particular, 

 by the different neuration of the wings : these last organs are gene- 

 rally of plain hue, and have mostly a transparent spot on the disc : 

 the antennae are shorter than the wings,which are rounded at the apex. 



Sp. 1. unipunctatus. Nigricans, antennis pedibusque fulvis, alis fuscescentibus, 

 nervis saturatioribus, anticis macula albo-hyalina. (Long. corp. 2g — Slin.j
