DR SHARP'S "COLEOPTERA OF SCOTLAND

thinks that heeri must be considered a distinct species, although 

 at present it stands as a variety of O. vile, Er. in the British 

 Catalogue. 



O. gracilicome, Fair. Forth, Fife, Balmuto, Fowler (6). 



O. brevicolle, Th. Tay, Mid Perth, Rannoch, D. Sharp (5, 6) ; 



Moray, Easterness, Nethy Bridge in carrion, Donisthorpe (9). 



Solway, Dumfries, Thornhill, U. Sharp (5, 6). 



Proteinics crenulatus, Pand. Moray, Easterness, Nethy Bridge, 

 D. Sharp (8). 



Megarthrus affinis, Miill. Clyde, Ayr, three in vegetable refuse, 

 Shewalton, Fergusson (11); Dumbarton, Bonhill, King (4). 



Pseudopsis sulcata, New. Forth, Edinburgh, one in haystack 

 refuse, Torduff, Colinton, March 1900, Evans (6). 



silphim;. 



Agathidium badium, Er. Tay, Mid Perth, Rannoch, several 



specimens on fungus on birch, Donisthorpe (9). 

 A. seminulum, L. Moray, Easterness, Nethy Bridge, at fungus on 



fir stumps, Donisthorpe (9). 

 Amphicyllis globus, F. Moray, Easterness, Nethy Bridge, 



Sharp (15). 

 Liodes orbicularis, Hbst. Tweed, Benvick, one sweeping in 



Langton Wood near Duns, Hislop, under L. orbiculatus. 



I think this record must refer to orbicularis, and as this species 



is recorded for Northumberland, it is not unlikely to occur in 



Berwick. 

 Anisoto/na l oblonga, Er. Solway, Dumfries, Dumfries, Fowler (6). 

 A. dubia, Kug., var. obesa, Schm. Forth, Fife, Moss Morran 



(Power), Fowler (6) ; Moray, Elgin, Culbin Sandhills, Chitty 



(i); 2 but see Dr Joy's notes on dubia and its forms, 



E.M.M., xlvii. p. 177. 

 A. clavicornis, Rye. Solway, Dumfries, one from flood refuse, 



banks of Nith, Thornhill, Rye (3). 

 A. litura, Steph. (punctulata, Gyll.), var. maculicollis, Rye. The 



Scotch form of litura is said to be referable to this variety by Dr 



Joy (12), although Rye, who applied the varietal name to 



1 A. sciia, Er., falls to be deleted from the Scottish List, as the specimens on 

 which the record (Solway) in Dr Sharp's list was founded are A. dubia, Joy 

 (EMM., xlvii. p. 168). 



2 Chitty's record was " obesa or dubia or perhaps both," but Commander 

 Walker kindly looked at the specimens in Chitty's Collection at Oxford and 

 informs me that there is one obesa labelled Forres.
