RECORDS OF SCOTTISH COLEOPTERA AND HEMIPTERA 95 



Hydroporus mono, Dej. Bavelaw Moss, April 1893, one specimen ; 

 Torduff Hill, Pentlands, March 1896, two. H. longulus, 

 Muls. Dreghorn Glen, Pentlands, March 1897, one in wet 

 moss by side of stream. H. discretus, Fairm. One from 

 muddy hole beside Glencorse Reservoir, Pentlands, May 

 1896. 



Agabus affinis, Payk. Mr. Thornley, who has taken great trouble 

 in the determination of the obscure Hydropori and Agabi, 

 comparing them with specimens in Canon Fowler's collection, 

 reports two examples of this very local form among my captures 

 one from Torduff Hill, Pentlands, March 1896, and one 

 from near Dollar, April 1897. 



Dytisciis punctulatus, F. Philipstoun Loch, Linlithgowshire, October 

 1890. 



ChcBtarthria seminidum, Herbst. Aberfoyle, April ; Luffness Links, 

 September ; and Boghall Glen, Pentlands, November, all in 

 1896. 



Hdophorus rugosus, Ol. St. Andrews, July 1890, one. 



Cercyoti flavipes, F. Taken in a number of localities in the three 

 Lothians. 



Aleochara cuniculorum, Kr. Luffness Links, three on dead rat, 

 September 1896; Kincraig, Speyside, August 1889. 



Myrmedonia humeralis, Grav. Loch Ard side, Upper Forth, April 

 1896, one. 



Astilbus canaliculatus, F. Near Midcalder, February 1897. 



Encephalus complicans, Westw. Taken in Midlothian on three 

 occasions: Glencorse, October 1896 ; Ratho, November 1896; 

 and Kirknewton in May last. 



Quedius mesomelimts, Marsh. Roslin, October 1896, and Arniston, 

 February 1897 ; a specimen shown to Dr. Sharp is referred by 

 him to var. fageti. Thorns. According to Fowler, this species 

 is widely distributed in Scotland, but it cannot be said to have 

 a definite place in Sharp's "Coleoptera of Scotland." Its 

 close ally, Qfulgidus, F., I have taken at Peebles, Aberdour, 

 and Gullane. Q. tristis, Grav. Murray's statement (which 

 has been questioned) that this species is common in Scotland 

 is certainly true as regards the Edinburgh district. The 

 following are my own records: Aberlady, September 1888; 

 Arthur's Seat, February 1889, etc. ; Colinton, Ravelrig, Penicuik, 

 October, and Rosythe Castle, near North Queensferry, 

 November, 1896; Dirleton, January, Isle of May, July and 

 September, 1897 ; Binny Craig, Linlithgowshire, March 1898 ; 

 Mortonhall, March 1900. I have also taken it in Moray
