British Species of I he Genus Stenophylax. 237 



" pilosus, Pict.," and in the " Entomologist's Annual" for 1859, p. 

 93, jn/usa, Pict., is given as a synonym for this species, but the fact 

 of a Stephensian name taking precedence of one of Pictet's 

 would indicate that there was some doubt about it, and this is 

 further confirmed in the " Stettiner Entomologische Zeitung" for 

 1859, p. 132, where Dr. Hagen states, that he has seen the true 

 pilosa only from Switzerland and Austria, and expresses his un- 

 certainty as to Stephens's species. The figures of the anal 

 appendages of pilosa in Brauer's *' Neuroptera Austriaca" (fig. 

 60, 61) do not at all correspond with the appendages of lateralis. 

 Pilosa is apparently a more hairy insect, so much so that Dr. 

 Hagen says of it " mitunter fast wollig." 



S. cingulatuSf Stephens. (PI. IX. fig. 5.) 



Halesus cingulatus, Step. 111. p. 209 — 2 (nee Brauer). 



Antennae, head and thorax reddish -ochreous, the latter darker at 

 the sides ; abdomen blackish, the divisions of the segments ochre- 

 ous ; legs ochreous ; anterior wings pale ochreous, immaculate, 

 the veins concolorous, extreme edge of the costa slightly brown- 

 ish ; posterior wings sub-hyaline, apex pale yellowish. Upper 

 margin of last abdominal segment slightly produced, rounded ; 

 appendices superiores rather long, furcate, the outer point the 

 longest ; appendices inferiores long, thin and cylindrical, pointed 

 upwards, rather obtuse ; penis much exserted, the lower sheaths 

 not visible. 



Long. Corp. 8| lin. ; exp. alar, 18 lin. 



" Devonshire in July," Stephens.* 



Unique in Stephens's collection : a second unset female specimen 

 may also belong here. Readily distinguished from all other 

 British species by the prominent furcate superior appendices and 

 obtusely pointed inferior appendices. In the " Entomologist's 

 Annual" for 1859, p. 93, 34, Dr. Hagen indicates this as 

 probably synonymous with P. testacea, Pictet, but he since 

 informs me that the latter species is different. Limnephilus cin- 

 gulatus, of Brauer, N. A. p. 51, 15, fig. 70, 71, is L. {Desmolaulius) 

 fumigatus, Germar, Kolen. 



S. latipennis, Curtis. (PI. IX. fig. 6,) 



Limnephilus latipennis, Curtis, Phil. Mag. 1834, p. 125, 31 ; 



Phryganea pantherina, Pict. Recherch. p. 137, 6, pi. 6, fig. 1 ; 



Stenophylax pantherinus, Kol. Gen. et Sp. Trichop. p. 67, 8. 



Antennae unannulated, light brown, basal joint dark brown ; 



head and thorax brown ; abdomen brownish-ochreous ; legs 



ochreous, with blackish spines ; the whole of the underside of the
