PANORPIDiE. 
Hagen (Ent. M. Mag. iii. p. 132) characterizes the 4 known species of 
JSoreus, namely : — JS. hiemalis (Linn.), B. westiooodii (Hag.), B. nivoriundus 
(Fitch), and B. bru?nalis (Fitch). . 
Brauer’s observations on the larvae of the Banorpidce are abstracted in 
Zeitschr. ges. Naturw. xxiii. p. 617. 
PhRYGANIDA5. 
Brauer (Reise der Novara, Neuropteren) describes in detail the new 
genera and species of this family collected during the voyage of the ^ Novara,’ 
namely : — Ilydromanicus, p. 6 ; H. irroratusy p. 6 j Nyctiophylax, p. 7 ; N. 
sinmsis, p. 8; Macronema pseudonema, p. 9; Tetracentron, p. 11; T. saro- 
thropus, p/ 12 ; Mystacides hrasilumusy p. 14 ; Anomalostoma y p. 15 ; A. allo- 
neura, p. 10 ; CalamoceraSy p. 21 ; C. marsupuSy p. 23 ; Sadotncha, p. 24 ; S. 
2 )tycho 2 )tenyXy p. 26. Tab. 1 contains ligiires of details (chielly wings) of the 
following species : — Ilydromanicus irroratus, fig. 2 ; Nyctiop>hylax sinmsisy 
fig.3 ; Macronema pseudonemay fig. 4; Tetracentron sarothropusy fig. 6; Anomo- 
locera alloneuray fig. 6 ; Calamoceras marsu 2 niSy fig. 7 ; and Scetotricha ptycho- 
pteryxy fig. 8. 
MacLachlan (Ent. Trans. 3rd series, vol. v.) refers to the following 
known species of this family : — llolostomis maclacldani (White) is a Phry- 
and is described and figured, l.c. p. 249, pi. 17. fig. 1; Macronema 
albovirens (Walk.) and ayrajyhum (Kol.) are referred by Hagen to Le 2 )tonema 
pallida (Gu6r.), but MacLachlan regards the former as distinct ; M. siynatay 
inscnptay and pulcherrima (Walk.) are probably varieties of one species; 
Hydropsyche nudtifai'ia and ti'ansversa (Walk,) and probably H. cicaria 
(Walk.) belong to Macronema (1. c. p. 204). MacLachlan appends to his 
paper (1. c. pp. 275-277) some notes on the species of Trichoptera described 
by Walker in Ent. Trans. 2nd ser. v. pp. 170-180), and states that 
niveistiymay ahjuransy and quadrifusca belong to Macronema) the genus Mu- 
sama belongs to the Sei'icostomidccy and one of its species {M. claudens) to the 
genus Baryq^entlms (Burm.) ; the characters of the species are discussed 
(p. 270), and the wings and other details of M. claudens and aperiens are 
figured (pi. 18. figs. 2 & 3). Walker’s genus CurgiaiQ very closely allied to, 
if not identical with, Chimarra ; its characters are indicated, its spur-formula 
is 0.4.4 (p. 277). Other species described by Walker and here noticed are 
Phryganea divulsay Limnopkilus griseuSy Macronema pardtanSy and Ourgia 
braconoides. 
MacLachlan (Stett. ent. Zeit. 1800, pp. 301-302) from the examination 
of an authentic specimen confirms Hagen’s opinion that Lasioceqdiala tam'us 
(Costa) =Mormonia basalis (Kol.), and gives the synonymy of that species. 
Helicoptsyche, Hagen (Ent. M. Mag. ii. p. 252) describes the generic cha- 
racters of the jnsect bred by Bland from cases of IIelicop)syche (See ^ Record,’ 
1805, p. 072). The insect is identical, or nearly so, witli Notidobia borealis 
(Hag,), which is also described (/. c. p. 253), and its case is Helicopsyche 
glabra (Hag.). Notidobia lutea (Hag.) is also described (/. c. p. 254) as a 
second species of Helicopsyche. The wings, head, and palpi of H. borealis 
are figured (p. 253). Hagen also remarks upon the European form {II. 
shutileivorthii), of which the case only is known ; he seems to think it may 
belong to some insect of a new genus allied to Dasystomay or perhaps to
