1907. H albert. — Cork Conference. — Terrestrial Coleoptera. 291 



The rarer species captured include the ground beetle 

 Carabus clathratus ; it had already been found in the extreme 

 western part of the county, and the present record helps to 

 bridge a gap in the known southern range of this fine species. 

 In the Cromaglaun woods A. W. Stelfox found Pyropterns 

 affi?iis y a species whose Irish range seems strictly limited to 

 the Kerry woodlands. It will be remembered that the re- 

 discovery of this handsome insect was one of the objects, 

 successfully accomplished, of the Ke 11 in are Conference of nine 

 years ago. 



The collection also contains numerous examples of both 

 the black and the brown forms of Silpha subrolundata, all 

 clearly referable to this characteristic Irish variety. 



In cases where no definite locality is mentioned Cork 

 district must be understood. All of these unlocalized species 

 are widely distributed in Ireland, and judging by their 

 frequency in the collection, they are common in the Cork 

 district.
