THE CARaBIDAB OF SALISBURY 5^ 



Klepterus. The two known S. African species of this 

 genus — K. eonsohrinus. Per. and K. pallidicollis, 

 V6r. — both occur at Salisbury, and I have taken 

 one or two examples of each at light and under 

 bark. 



Lionychiis. The pretty little A. ha sails is here, and is 

 found occasionally, but not often, in wet sand close 

 to the water's edge 



ApriMiis. A. latipennis has been recorded from this 

 locaIit3^ The only specimens I have seen are two 

 that I found years ago, at Dunbrody, near Uitenhage, 

 and one that I received from Mr. C. N. Barker, who 

 took it at Malvern, Natal. 



Phloeozetus. Five species of this genus are known to 

 occur at Salisbury and we probabl}^ have more here. 

 I have taken all of them under the bark of Bra- 

 chystegia randii. Ph. amlnilans, Ph. mashumis and 

 Ph umb?'aculatus are abundant; Ph. praeustus and 

 Ph. crihricollis are very much rarer, and so far I have 

 only found one example of each. 



Lebia. Of this extensive genus ten species have been 

 found in or near Salisbury. The list consists of L. 

 immaculata, L. nohiliSj L. evicta^ L. transvaalensis^ 

 L. phantasma, L. eximia, and its variety vaciva, 

 which was described by Peringuey as a distinct 

 species, L. natalensis^ L. inedita, L. sperabilis and the 

 little L, sebakuana, Per. Of these L. exlmia and L. 

 natalensis are common under bark, and I once found 

 L. sebakuana in considerable numbers under dead 

 leaves close to the river. Our other species are rare 

 locally, and two of them — L. inedita and L. spera- 

 bilis — I have not yet seen. 



Astata. A. tetragamma — the typical form with spotted 

 elytra is found here occasionally under bark, and 

 of A. Gonsors I have taken a single example. 



Lebistina. L. sanguinea is common in this neighbour- 

 hood, under the bark of B. randii and beneath stones.
