DR SHARPS "COLEOPTERA OF SCOTLAND 159 



Braemar, Champion (1) ; Moray, Easterness, Aviemore, 

 Champion (15, 16). 



JV. hypocrita, Spaeth. Dee, S. Aberdeen, Braemar. " A very dubious 

 species and scarcely more than a variety of N. palustris." ' 

 Champion (15). 



Leistus spinibarbis, F. Clyde, Renfrew, rare under loose bark, 

 near Paisley, Fergusson (6). 



Nebria gyllenhali, Sch., var. rufescens, Stroem. Moray, Easterness, 

 Cairn Gorm, Beare (3, 19); Clyde, Ayr, an example from 

 Ayrshire in Dick Institute, Kilmarnock, Bagnall (1). 



N. gyllenhali, Sch., var. balbii, Bon. Shetland, Shetlands, several 

 specimens from Shetland, Poppius. 



XDyschirius obscurus, Gyll. Mr G. C. Champion (9) states that 

 specimens of this species were mixed with other Dyschirii in 

 the late Dr Boswell Syme's collection, and that although there 

 were no locality labels they were probably Scotch.] 



D. angustatus, Ahr. Moray, Easterness, Nethy Bridge, under 

 stones, Donisthorpe (9). 



D. aineus, Dj. Forth, Fife, rather commonly, Kincardine-on-Forth, 

 April 1901, Evans (7); Moray, East Ross, two in rejecta- 

 menta on banks of Tain, Bold; [Solway, Kirkcudbright, 

 Southwark Glen, Lennon (7)], but this species is not noted by 

 M'Gowan in his List of the Coleoptera of the Solway District, 

 so Lennon's record is perhaps to be considered doubtful.

 1900, Fergusson (6).
