TWO NEW SPECIES OF CADDICE-FL1ES.

By NATHAN BANKS.

The _following two

_species of caddice-flies

were

collected at

Wellington,

^British

Columbia, by two

local collectors,

Rev. G.

W. _Taylor and Mr. Theo.

Bryant.

Both

_{are large}

and

_striking species,

one handsomely marked

^{for a} caddice-fly^; the otherof rather peculiar shape.

One

of

them

constitutes a

new _genus, GlypJtopsyche, which

includes also a species recently described as Glyphotcelius ^{bellus. I}

have named

the species ⁱⁿ

honor

ot the collectors,

who have done

so

much

to

make known

the insect fauna of theirregion.

Head

black,with black hair,and

some

_yellowishhairon_clypeus; palpi yellowish^; antennae _black, beneath _faintly, but _plainly, crenulate, basal joint not as long ^as vertex; prothorax yellow, with long yellow ^hair;

thoraxblack, lateral lobesof mesothorax and the mesoscutellum_yellow, andwith yellow^hair.

Abdomen

black; _legs yellow, with black _spines.

Anterior wings hyaline, most of the veins

marked

broadly with dark

brown;

^{the subcosta and radius} narrowly bordered with brown, ^theradial sector, median

and

cubitus

more

heavily margined; ^the

mark

onthe median doesnot reach the posterior anasto mosis; ^the _region behind the anal vein is brown, the _apical veins are bordered with

brown

on their apical two-thirds, thefirst and second sub- apicals are

marked

_{mostly on} their basal portions with brown, and ^the thirdis

brown

tothe _tip; the cell behind itentirelybrown.

Sometimes

these_apical markings^{are heavierso as to} nearly run together; however thereisalways^a palearea acrossbasal part of the apicals. Inthehind wings ^the ptemstigma ^is

brown

and the apex narrowly^clouded.

Banks,

from

in
