RHAPHIDIIDiE. 
Hhaphidia. Hagen publishes (Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd ser. v. pp. 493-499) some 
notes on the species of this genus. He records 18 species, 6 of which are cha- 
racterized as new, and describes the following known species: — schnei- 
dcrii (Ratz.), R. ophiopsis (De G.), R. media (Bunn.), R. xanthostigma (Schum.), 
R. ajjinis (Schn.), R. hispanica, R. notata, and R. cognata (Ramb). He re- 
marks that in the form of the gouilal parts tlireo types may bo recognized, 
namely, those of : — 
1. R. ophiopsis, varied and repeated in xanthostigma, Corsica, taurica, arrne- 
niaca, and notata ; 
2. R. cognata, repeated in havarica ; and 
3. R. media, repeated and varied in ajfinis, cypricn, adnixa, and ohlita. 
The species described are regarded by Hagen as undoubtedly distinct, with 
the exception perhaps of R. schneiderii, wliich may = cognata. The apex of 
the abdomen in R. ophiopsis is figured p. 499. fig. 1, and the same part, with 
the head and stigma, in R. xanthostigma and schneiderii, ibid. figs. 2 & 3. Ratze- 
burg has once found the larva of a Raphidia in a cocoon of Lophyrus pini.
