Coleoptera Collected in County Carlow. 33 li 



The following species in the above list have not apparently 



been previously recorded as Irish. 



Homalota lang^uida, Br. — In moss on river bank, also in flood- 

 refuse. Recorded as a rare species in the south of England. 



H. exilis, Er. — Several in flood-refuse. 



H. plloslventris, Thonis. — One example in moss. Rare. 



The Irish specimens of this difficult genus are frequently very puzzling 

 through a tendency to var3% Dr. Sharp has seen any doubtful species. 

 These were returned by him as correct, but marked as variations from 

 the types. 



Olophrum fuscum, Grav.— Found amonst dead leaves in a wood 

 near Graiguenamanagh. iV local northern species in Britain.

 //. pusillnin, Grav., has been taken under fir bark in the north and west 

 of Ireland.

 stumps. Ivocal, and an interesting addition to our list.

 between Borris and Goresbridge.

 Dej., found under a felled stump, recently taken on the Cork 

 coast by Mr. H. G. Cuthbert. Anchomenus angusticollis, F., 

 occurred in great abundance along river bank. Aleochara 

 brevipennis, Grav., rare. Hister fieglectus, Germ., in flood- 

 refuse ; this species seems to be of more frequent occurrence 

 in Ireland than the common English H. carbonarms, Tel.

 sulcifro7is, Boh., in moss, and Ezibrychius velatus, Beck., in 

 flood-refuse.
