RECORDS OF COLEOPTERA TAKEN IN SCOTLAND 91 



Dyschirius aneus, Dej. On 2yth April 1901, I found this form 

 rather commonly on the sides of a deep ditch at Kincardine-on- 

 Forth (identification confirmed by Mr. Champion). In Sharp's 

 "Coleoptera of Scotland" D. cencus is marked "doubtful as 

 Scottish," but Fowler, in his "British Coleoptera," quotes a record 

 from Tain. D. thoracicus, Rossi. Still occurs near Aberlady ; 

 have found it there on several occasions recently. 



Chlanius nigricornis, F. Oban, one, April 1894; Braendam, near 

 Callander, two, April 1900. 



Harpalus puncticollis, Payk. Kennetpans, near Alloa, a dozen, April 

 1901. H. tardus, Panz. Aberlady, one, May 1890. 



Dichirotrichus pubescens, Payk. Aberlady, and above Kincardine-on- 

 Forth, common. 



Anisodactylus binotatus, F. ^, Loch Awe, Argyllshire, June 1900 

 (from R. Godfrey). 



Stomis pumicatus, Panz. Aberlady, May 1890; Bucklyvie, April 

 1896; Heriot (Tweed area), June 1898; North Queensferry, 

 August 1900; Kincardine-on-Forth, April 1901; in flood 

 refuse, Orr Water, Thornton, February 1903; scarce in this 

 district. 



Pterostichus athiops, Panz. <$ , Pentland Hills, above Currie, 

 October 1900. The late Andrew Wilson took this species on 

 the Pentlands in 1857 (" Proc. Roy. Phys. Soc." i. 411). P. 

 viireus, Dej. Caerketton, Pentlands, April 1896, and above 

 Currie, March 1900; near Kirknewton, April 1895, and May 

 1897 ; Ravelrig Moss, April 1898. Was recorded from the 

 Pentlands by W. A. Forbes in 1876 ("Scot. Nat." iii. 316); 

 but if it be the Feronia orinomum of Wilson and Duncan's 

 " Entomologia Edinensis," it has long been known as an 

 inhabitant of these hills.

 Penicuik Woods, October 1896; Brodick, April 1895. 



Taphria nivalis, Panz. Comiston, Braid, Tynehead ; near Kingussie.

 with B. monticola, Stm., February 1903.

 Dalmeny, March, and near Aberdour, April 1901. A. robinii,
