LV-PTOCERIDiE. — PHRYGANID/E. 203 



spurs at the apex, and the intermediate and posterior each with a second 

 pair considerably below the middle. 



This genus, in my opinion, scarcely belongs to the present family, 

 yet I know not where better to place it : from the other genera it 

 differs in having the antennae not longer than the wings, the latter 

 very obtusely rounded at the apex, and differing in the positions of 

 the transverse nervures from the true Leptoceridae and the Phryga- 

 nidae ; the lege, moreover, are rather long, and the two hinder pair 

 of tibiae are each furnished with two pair of longish spurs, one pair 

 at the apex, and the other pair much below the middle.

 Amblypteryx nigripalpis. Steph. Catal. 318. No. 3619. 



Head and palpi fuscous ; thorax bright tawny ; abdomen fuscous, its apex 

 rather ochreous ; anterior wings thickly clothed with an ochreous silky 

 pubescence, the nervures somewhat fuscous; posterior wings pale fuscous, 

 with darker nervures; legs pale tawny; antennae tawny, spotted with 

 fuscous. 



Found, but apparently very rarely, in the vicinity of London, at 

 Hertford, in June ; also taken in the New Forest.

Amb. rufipalpis. Stepk. Catal. 318. No. 3620.— Mo. angustata. Phil. Mag. 

 {Curtis) V. iv. p. 214. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen, fuscous ; palpi and legs ochreous-red ; anterior 



wings dull tawny, clothed with a silken pile, with the nervures fuscous ; 



posterior pale fuscous ; antennae tawny, with fuscous spots above. 

 The head, thorax, and abdomen, are sometimes pale tawny-ochreous ; all the 



wings dull fuscous-ochre, with darker nervures. — Probably a distinct 



species. 



Likewise taken near London, in July, and in Devonshire, in 

 June. 



Family VIII.— PHRYGANIDiE mihi. 



AntenncB setaceous, longer than the body, but not longer than the wings : 

 maxillary palpi slightly hairy, dissimilar in the sexes, those of the male being 

 3 or 4-articulate, and of the female 5-jointed, the terminal joint shorter
