SOME MORE RECORDS OF COLEOPTERA 

 TAKEN IN SCOTLAND, CHIEFLY IN THE 

 EDINBURGH (OR "FORTH") DISTRICT. 



By WILLIAM EVANS, F.R.S.E. 



THREE years ago I published in this magazine (1900, pp. 

 91-101) a first instalment of my personal records of 

 Coleoptera taken in the " Forth " area and some other parts 

 of Scotland, and in the following year (1901, p. 183) I 

 reported five additional species new to the Scottish list. 1 

 As previously mentioned, I have been collecting Beetles 

 in the Edinburgh (or Forth) district for a number of years 

 back, my object latterly being the issue of a revised list for 

 the area, which is now in hand. But, as the working out 

 of my own collectings, and the weary task of investigating 

 the scattered literature, of which there is more than is 

 generally supposed, and writing up the voluminous data, 

 will necessarily take some time yet, it seems advisable now 

 to publish a further instalment of my records. These have 

 been selected chiefly with a view to filling up blanks in the 

 ascertained distribution as given in Sharp's Catalogue of 



1 These were Tachyporus fonnosics, Matth. , Pseudopsis sulcata, Newm., 

 Bryaxis helferi, Schm., Hister merdariiis, Hoff., Cis fuscalus, Mell.
