140 The Irish Naturalist. August, 



The following is a list of the other interesting species 

 that were captured, and that have not been noted as having 

 occurred in the district in 1909. 



Bradycellus similis, Dej. ; Ilyhius ater, De G. ; Rhantus 

 notatus, Berg. ; Aleochara hrevipennis, Gr., one in carrion ; 

 A. nitida, Gr. ; Homalota aquatica, Th. ; Myllacna inter- 

 media, Er. ; Mcgacronus analis, F. ; Leistotrophus nebtdosus, 

 F., a very large male on the keeper's boot, as we were 

 examining a carrion trap together ; Lathrohium terminatum, 

 Gr. var. immaculatum, Fowler ; Lathrimaeum unicolor, 

 Steph. ; Omalium ioptcrum, Steph., a single specimen taken 

 by Mr. Donisthorpe on the window of his room ; Mcgarthrus

 of dead bracken ; Agathidium laevigatum, Er., not 

 uncommon at the bottom of a hay-stack ; Necrophorus 

 ruspator, Er., a specimen which has the anterior orange 

 Band of the elytra broadly interrupted (and in this respect 

 resembles N. interruptus, Steph.) ; its abdomen, however, is 

 only pubescent at the apex, which proves it to belong to 

 this species ; Choleva grandicollis, Er. ; C. morio, F., the 

 commonest species of this genus under carrion ; C. Watsoni, 

 Spence ; Pselaphus Hcisei, Hbst., common ; Hippodaniia

 Omosita colon, L., one specimen in carrion ; Atomaria 

 nigripcnnis, Ik., one in hedge-trimmings ; Lema septen-
