could be adduced of a definite British habitat. This want has now 

 been supplied by Mr. J. J. Walker, who found a somewhat immature 

 example in sheep dunji: at Queendown Warren, near Chatham, on 

 August 20th last. 



A. discipennis may be briefly described as a small A. fusci2)es,w\t\\ 

 the antennae formed very much as in A. lanutjinosa. The elytra are 

 shorter than the prothorax, rufescent, with the sutural region and the 

 sides infuscate, much as in Oxypoda Uvidipennis and its allies. The 

 hind body is somewhat densely punctured towards the base and more 

 sparsely so towards the apex, a character separating A. discipennis 

 from all the forms of A. succlcola. The elytral punctuation is finer 

 and denser than in A. laniiqino>i(i. A. discipennis is found in France, 

 the Alps, Pyrenees, Tyrol, &c., and is apparently not rare. I have 

 recorded it from Moucayo, North Spain.*

ENICMUS FUNQICOLA, Thoms., A SPECIES OF COLEOPTERA 

 NEW TO BRITAIN. 



BY E. A. NEWBERT. 



The above interesting addition to the list is owing to the exertions 

 of Mr. H. Britten, who has done so much good work among the 

 beetles of Cumberland. Its nearest allies are E. rugosus, Herbst, and 

 E. testaceiis, Steph., from these it may be separated as follows: — 



I. Metasternura and 1st abdominal segment punctured more strongly on the sides. 



a. Body and elytra black ; a longitudinal line impressed on the 1st ventral 

 segment ; average size smaller E. rugosus, Herbst. 



aa. Elytra reddish-testaceous, with the body black ; without impressed line on 

 1st ventral segment; average size larger E.fungicola, Thoms. 



II. Metasterniim and 1st abdominal segment impunctate, but sometimes with very 



fine longitudinal wrinkles ; upper surface entirely lighter or darker tes- 

 taceous E. testaceus, Steph. 



Some of the above distinctions are invisible in specimens carded 

 in our usual manner, but as a rule the colour of the upper side is 

 sufficient to separate them, E. rugosus being entirely black, E. testaceus 

 entirely reddish, and E.fungicola black with reddish elytra. I have
