THE O.A RABID AE OP SALISBURY 55 



Of Stenidia, I once took here a large number of examples 

 <»j1 the very prett^^ >*^'. jacunda, P^r. They were hibernal 

 ing in a reed-bed in June. I have captured a few speci 

 mens of this Stenidia at light in summer. S, elegantula , 

 P^r., T have also taken in reeds and at light, and more 

 rarely, at grass roots. aS. angusta, P6r., appears to be 

 scarce here, and I have only found one example. It is 

 much commoner at Unitali, and I have received several 

 specimens from that town. 



Tribe Oaleritini. 



This Tribe is well represented here by six species of 

 Drypta, one Evnostns and five of Zuphiutn. 



Drypta distlncta, dentata and mashuna I have taken 

 not uncommonly in flood refuse. D. melanarthra and D. 

 nifieoUis are much scarcer here, and the small D. hrems. 

 Per., which occurs at Uratali also, is exceedingly rare in 

 this neighbourhood. 



Eunosfus giiicnzii flies to light occasionally between 

 December and March, ZuphUim caffrum, Boh., and Z. 

 ustum, Klug. are not very uncommon at Salisbury, and 

 are taken under bark and, more frequently, at light. 

 The latter I have also captured at light near Plumtree. 

 Our three other local species of Zuphium — hohemani, 

 trimacuJatum and dehile — are very scarce here and T 

 have only managed to obtain a single specimen of each. 



Galerita has not yet been recorded from Salisbury, 

 though the large G. angustipenriis, Gerst., which is quite 

 distinct from G. leptodera, Ghaud., is found both at 

 Umtali and Beira. 



Tribe Helluonini. 



Six of these fine Carabidae are known to occur in this 

 neighbourhood. Four of them, all of which I have 

 taken here within recent years, belong to the genus 

 MacrocJiilus, and are shapely and handsome beetles. The
