terminal joints still longer. Labial palpi with short basal joint,second longer and somewhat clavate, third still longer and cylin-drical. Prothorax distinct, slightly hairy. Mesothorax some-what broader than the head, ovate, with a flattened space above.Anterior wings with very short and sparse hairy covering, shining,very narrow at the base, dilated before the parabolic apex ; neu-ration strong and distinct; radius with a shallow bend before thetermination, discoidal cell long and narrow, all the apical cellsnearly equal in breadth. Posterior wings rather broader andshorter than the anterior, apex obtusely rounded, anal spacemoderate, with longer marginal cilia ; discoidal cell as in the an-terior wings ; apical cells all long and narrow ; near the base thereis a long fold in the male, in which lies a pencil of long hairs. Legslong and slender, tibiae and tarsi spinose; anterior tibiae with oneapical spur; intermediate tibiae with two equal apical spurs;posterior tibiae with one median and two equal apical spurs.

One species occurs in this country; another, E. Moravica,Kolenati , (unknown to me), is found in the Moravian Alps.

Antennae testaceous. Head fuscous. Palpi testaceous. Pro-thorax clothed with reddish-brown and blackish hairs. Meso-thorax fuscous. Anterior wings pale fuscous, with small indis-tinct whitish spots ; a rather distinct larger whitish spot at thethyridium, and another at the arculus; pterostigma darker thanthe rest of the membrane; neuration distinct, dark blackish-fuscous. Posterior wings smoky grey, subhyaline; neurationdarker ; the pouch in the male ochreous. Legs greyish-testaceous,with darker thighs and black spines. Abdomen reddish-fuscous.(I have seen no specimens in sufficiently good condition to enableme to make a description of the anal appendages, and have there-fore contented myself with copying Brauer’s figures.)

Expanse of fore-wings 8—1 %• lines.

Found in the North of England ; Mr. Beaumont takes it com-monly at Huddersfield ; and in June of the present year I capturedit in some abundance at a stream running into Loch Rannoch, andalso at Currie near Edinburgh . Unfortunately 1 did not make adescription of the appendices from fresh specimens. The pale
