[Z. nigerrinius, Gyll. Reported to have occurred in Scotland, 

 Tomlin and YV. E. Sharp; but see "Supplementary Note on 

 Z. nigerrinius, Gyll," by the same authors (E.M.M., xlviii., 

 p. 2 84), from which it appears that the Scotch record, if 

 authentic, may apply either to Z. nigerrinius, Gyll, or to Z. 

 plantago-maritimus, Dollman. The latter, according to 

 Tomlin and Sharp, may or may not be a species previously 

 undescribed.] 



Z. senecionis, Bris. {piciceps, Brit. Colls.) Moray, Elgin, Forres, 

 Tomlin and W. E. Sharp. These authors state that this 

 species is generally, if not very commonly, distributed over 

 the kingdom. The most northerly record appears to be that 

 rioted above. 



[Z. lycopi, Foudr. Orkney, Orkneys, Stromness, one specimen, 

 Poppius. Tomlin and W. E. Sharp state that this species 

 appears to be very rare in this country, and the few records 

 available are all from the south of England. It may therefore 

 be as well to consider the Orkney record as one which requires 

 further confirmation.] 



1 Dr Sharp in his " Coleoptera of Scotland " (Scot. Nat., vi., p. 94) recorded only 

 the species of this genus which he had taken himself, nine in all, but he remarked 

 that no doubt the Scotch species were really more numerous than this, 

 and commented on the difficulty of making use of the records in Murray's 

 Catalogue owing to the confusion in synonymy. With the aid of Tomlin 

 and W. E. Sharp's "Notes on the British Species of Longitarsus, Latr." (E.M.M., 

 xlvii., p. 241 el seq.~), I have gone into the records since the publication of Dr 

 Sharp's list, and the species here noted, with the exception of two, the records 

 of which seem doubtful, appear to be additions to the Scotch list. I have not 

 given the records for Scotland of L. luridus, Scop., although Fowler in his 

 British Coleoptera remarked that it was not recorded from Scotland, as it is clear 

 from Tomlin and W. E. Sharp's paper that the records of L. hrunnea, Duft., in 

 Dr Sharp's Scotch list refer to this species.
