{Continued from page 40.) 



Otiorhynchus tenebricosus, Hbst. Moray, Elgin, Culbin Sandhills, 

 Chitty (3). This was recorded under hcematopus (fuscipes, 

 Walt.), but Commander Walker on examining the specimen in 

 the Chitty Collection states that he has no hesitation in refer- 

 ring it to tenebricosus, which was recorded for Forth and Solway 

 by Dr Sharp, on the authority of Murray's Catalogue. Fowler 

 (6), however, was rather doubtful of the Scotch records. 



O. scabrosus, Marsh. Forth, Haddington, under stones at base of 



Traprain Law, Hardy (3). 

 Trachyphhvus squamulatus, CE. Tweed, Berwick, on dry trap 



knolls near Girrick; Moray, Morayshire, in moss amongst 



water, Hislop.

Kelton, Lennon and Douglas. 

 Caenopsis ivaltoni, Boh. Solway, Dumfries, one in flood refuse, 



Kelton, Lennon and Douglas. 



Exomias a ran eij 'or mis, Schr. Tweed, Peebles, Peebles, Beare (9) ;

 thorpe (3); Moray, Elgin, Forres, Chitty (7); Solway, 

 Dumfries, on banks of the Water of Cairn between Irongray 

 and Dunscore (Dr Sharp), Fowler (6). It is thought, however, 

 that T. obtusus, Bons, and T. tomentosus, Marsh., which is 

 recorded in Dr Sharp's "Coleoptera of Scotland," are really 

 one species. See report of discussion on this point, Proc. 

 Ent. Soc, 1904, p. vi.
