Vorhies—Studies on the Trichoptera of Wisconsin. 705 
species, the larvae are not obtainable in numbers. It was rather 
thru good fortune in keeping alive those secured, than in get¬ 
ting large numbers that they were reared successfully. As they 
are relatively small until spring, near pupation time, and the 
cases usually green, they may be easily over-looked when hand¬ 
ling material in the held. Plant material may be brought into 
the' laboratory and put in large jars with much water, when the 
larvse will in a few hours come out where they may be seen. I 
have them from Lakes Mendota, Monona, and Wingra. 
Adults were taken with trap and net in the latter part of 
J une.

, MOLAXXIDLE. 
Molanna uniophila nov. sp. 
Imago .—Length of body, 7-8 mm. Expanse, 22-23 mm. 
Antennae grayish-black. Palpi thickly clothed with gray and 
black hair. Head black, with a median anterior wart, a small 
pair above the antennge close to the eyes, and, on either side, 
near the posterior part of the eye, two closely approximated 
warts, all clothed with black and grayish hair. Pro- and meso- 
thorax ferruginous tc blackish, a pair of transverse warts on the 
former, and the wing callosities of the latter, clothed as those 
of the head; sparse, grayish pubescence medially on the meso- 
thorax. Metathorax lighter brown. Abdomen grayish-fuscous. 
Anterior legs grayish-black, the posterior two pairs gray; tibiae 
and tarsi with black spines. Anterior wings dark gray, with 
about three large, irregular spots of lighter gray, more or less 
distinct, on the distal two-thirds. Posterior wings gray. 
In the male the 9th dorsal segment is medially produced into 
a small lobe. The superior appendages are long, concave within, 
slightly curved, the convex edge upward in lateral view; a ven¬ 
tral expansion near the base, hairy. Between these lie the 
broad penis covers, the tips pointing downward between the in¬ 
ferior appendages; the latter are long, forcipate, curving up¬ 
ward and inward, narrow at the tips, hairy.
