NEUROPTERA. 
Girard, Maurice. Les Insectes. ii. [Vide Orthoptera.'] 
Pp. 260-565 are occupied by Neuroptera ; as are also pis. Ixiv.-lxviii. 
The latter (Ixviii.) did not appear in Guerin’s ‘ Iconographie,’ and some of 
the figures on it are original. 
Hagen, II. A. Report upon the collections of Neuroptera and Pseudo- 
Neuroptera made in portions of Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, 
during the years 1872-1874. In Wheeler’s Rep. Geogr. Explor. W. 
of 100th Mer. (Washington : 1875, 4to), v. Zoology, chapt. xiv. 
pp. 911-922.

ropteres. Nat. Canad. viii. pp. 177-191, 209-218, 264-268, 309-315, 
323-327. 
Comprises a portion of the Pseudo-Neuroptera. The descriptions are 
.little else than translations from Hagen’s North American Synopsis. At 
p. 310, a rough figure of Plathemis trimaculata ( ,^' ) is given as a ‘ model ’ 
of the form of the Odonata, but is said to represent a Gomphus ! 
Trichoptera. 
McLaciilan, R. a Monographic Revision and Synopsis of the TricJio- 
ptera of the European fauna. Part iv., pp. 145-220, pis. xvi.-xxiii. 
(April, 1876), part v. pp. 221-280 (and Supplement, part i. pp. i.-xii.), 
pis. xxiv.-xxxi. (Nov. 1876). London & Berlin ; 8vo. 
These parts bring the work down to the end of the family Sericosto- 
matidce^ and the Supplement extends to the end of the Limnophilidccy 
embodying the new information received as to localities, new species, &c., 
to date. The changes in nomenclature, synonymy, &c. (chiefly from 
personal examination of types) are numerous, and often so intricate in 
details that a condensed abstract of them is scarcely possible. Figures 
illustrating the more essential structural characters of almost each species 
are, as heretofore, given. Only the absolutely new genera and species 
are recorded infi'd. 
F. G. Binnie, “Fauna and Flora of West of Scotland,” pp. 19-21, 
catalogues 55 species from the Glasgow district, with localities.

Phryganeidee. 
McLachlan, 1. c. Supplement, pp. i.-iii., notes additional localities for 
European species, varieties, &c., and describes a new genus : — 
AgrypneteSy p. ii. Facies of Agrypnia {Pagetand)^ but with only 1.2.2 
spurs ; anterior tarsi very short, intermediate tarsi flattened, and with a 
dense comb-like fringe of hairs ; antennae extremely stout. Type, A.

Descriptions of the species of the European fauna are concluded in 
McLachlan’s “ Revision and Synopsis,” pt. iv., and additional information
