Addition to the list of British Trichoptera (Agrypnia picta, Kolen.J. —Mr. Pryer 
iptured at a gas-lamp at Highgate, in August, a S example of this' insect, which 
■as submitted to me by my friend Mr. Wormald. It is a North European species 
F considerable size, with the facias of a true Phryganea (in a generic sense), and 
will be remembered that the species was before erroneously brought forward as 
ritish, a speciman of Phry. ohsoleta having been mistaken for it. There is no doubt, 
owever, as to Mr. Fryer's insect. Where it may have been bred is uncertain : perhaps 
18 intense heat had dried up the water in its usual haunts, probably at some dis- 
mce from London, and it was in search of some congenial locality. Trichoptera 
ive been unusually scarce this season, the water in many places where they 
•dinarily abounded having disappeared altogether.— R. McLachlan, Lewisham, 
'h Septemher, 1868.

Captures of rare Neuroptera and Trichoptera.— Hemerobius inconspicxms, McLach. 
a the 25th June last I met with a single example of this species in Addington 
irk, Surrey. The only locality given by Mr. McLachlan in his excellent « Mono- 
•aph of the British Neuroptera-Planipennia " (Trans. Bnt. Soc. 1868, pt. 2) is 
mrnemouth, where it has been found by Mr. Dale in old furze bushes. My speci- 
en was beaten from a fir-tree. 
HemeroUtis concinnus, Steph. I beat from a fir-tree a fine specimen of this 
ecies at the same time and place as H. inconspicuus. 
Setodes testacea. Curt. When at Llangollen, North Wales, in the second week 
July, I beat from an alder on the banks of the Dee a single specimen of this 
bher rare species. 
Chimarra marginata, L. I also captured at Llangollen some dozen specimens 
this local species. I took them by beating alders on the banks of the Dee, and 
variably where water was running rapidly beneath the bushes.— Percy C. Wor- 
.LD, 35, Bolton Road, St. John's Wood, N.W. 
Notes on the earUer stages of Argynnis Euplwosyne.-T:he pleasure one always 
ils in striking ofi" another species from the hst of desiderata, is in this case greatly 
hanced by the fact that for some years Euphrosyne eluded the care and search- 
b of myself only, but of several of my friends. 
We never had any difficulty in getting the ? to lay its eggs, or the young 
va3 to begin feeding, but the disappointment lay in the hybernation; we never 
lid get a single larva to feed up in spring, nor could we, with all our searching 
fit localities, at that season, ever detect a larva feeding at large. However, onr 
empts, though fruitless in one point of view, made us acquainted with the earliest 
ges, which I will give before proceeding to the full-grown larva. 
The egg is of a blunt, conical shape, with its lower surface, which adheres to 
. leaf, flattened, its sides are ribbed ; at first it is of a dull greenish-yellow colour, 
!oming afterwards brownish. Towards the end of June the larva is hatched'
