PHRYGANEA VARIA: alis cinereo, nigroque variis; punéto medio 
diftiné&to niveo, antennis nigris. Fab. Ent. Syft, T. 2. 
pe TT. 103. ? 
The Phryganea Varia of Fabricius has not been figured by any 
author; but is, we fufpeét, no other than a fmall variety of P. 
Grandis, and which Linnzus defcribes as ‘* alts cinereo teflaceis, 
** lineolis duabus longitudinalibus nigris, punéto albo.” Fabricius has 
altered this definition to ‘* alis teftaceis cinerea maculatis,”’ in the 
Entomologia Syftematica, and erroneoufly attributes the latter to 
Linneus. 
We cannot avoid, in fupport of our opinion, noticing the 
‘ftriking diffimilarity between the feveral figures of Phryganea 
Grandis, in our copies of the works quoted by Linnzus and Fa- 
bricius. Aeefel has two figures, one of a blueith grey, the other
