30 The Irish Xatliralisf. February.. 



Anaspis rufilabn's, Gyll., on hawthorn flowers ; Dryophilus 

 pusillus, Gyll., which I have recently recorded from the 

 Co. Cavan,' was not uncommon on larch in the bog wood ; 

 Barypeithes sulci fr oris, Boh., one specimen on a buttercup ; 

 Sitones hrevicollis, Sch., one by sweeping ; Barynotus 

 elevatus, Marsh., fairly common in moss and by sweeping 

 on the bog ; Coeliodes querciis, F., on oak ; Elleschus hi- 

 pundatus, L., in profusion on sallows in the bog wood ; 

 Apion immune, Kirby, a few on broom. 



A morning spent on the bog on m^^ cousin's property 

 of Emlagh, near Carlanstown, produced Telephorus litur- 

 atiis, F. ; E later pomonim, Hbst. ; Barynotus Schoenherri, 

 Zett., under stones ; Orchestes scutellaris, Gyll., var. 

 semirufus, Gyll., very common on young birch, without, 

 however, a single specimen of the type form being found ; 

 and Pityophtorus pubescens, Marsh. 



II. — COLEOPTERA FROM ClOVERHILL, Co. CaVAN. 



I Spent a good deal of time in vain endeavours to run 

 down Pterostichus aterrimus, Pk. ; in doing so, however, 

 I found six specimens of Carahus clathratus, L., by treading 

 grass at the edge of a lake, and a single Chlaenius holoseri- 

 ceus, F., in a tuft of sedge in the same spot. The capture, 

 in this locality, of the former species is rather surprising, 

 as it is usually recorded from bogs at a high elevation or near 

 the sea. It is generally taken in April. As one half of 

 my specimens are males, and as they are all in excellent 

 condition, I conclude that the species was by no means 

 " over," but that it must be rare in the district, since I 

 was unable to capture any more. Stenolophus vespertinus, 

 Pz., one with the preceding ; Acupalpus luridus, Dj., 

 one in moss on a bog ; Anisodactylus hinotatus, F., var. 

 spuraticornis, Dj., four specimens in turf refuse ; Agabus 

 paludosus, F. ; Stenus crassus, Steph. ; Cryptobium glaber- 

 rimum, Hbst., in moss ; Philonthus carbonarius, Gyll., 

 P:lucens, Er., in straw refuse ; Gyrophaena laevipennis, Kr., 

 by sweeping ; Tachyusa atra, Gr., common on the muddy
