was only formicarms, and have never looked at it since then till now. 

 The species is apparently rare on the Continent, in central and northern 

 regions, though it is also recorded from Spain.

BBADYCELLUS SHABPI, sp. nov. 

 BY NORMAN H. JOY, M.R.C.S., F.E.S. 



Knowing that I was working at the British Carabidx, Dr. Sharp 

 suggested to me sometime ago that the BmdyceUns disthietus of British 

 collections was not the true distirictus, Dej., and that it was an unde- 

 scribed species. He at the same time pointed out to me some marked 

 difeerences between it and its allies, B. verbasci, Duft., and B. harpali- 

 nus, Dej. Capt. Deville has since kindly lent me a specimen of 

 B. distindus, Dej., which is a very different insect from the beetle we 

 have so long known under that name. It therefore becomes necessary 

 to describe the latter form, and I have much pleasure in naming it 

 after its discoverer. 



Apterous ; pitchy red or pitchy, suture often somewhat lighter, antennas 

 and legs red: thorax strongly contracted behind, slightly sinuate before hind 

 angles, which are sharp, but rather obtuse ; elytra considerably rounded at 

 sides, scutellary stria very short, 3rd interstice with a pore at the hinder third. 

 L. 4 — 5 mm. 



B. harjMlinus and B. verbasci are winged ; they have the hind 

 angles of the thorax much more obtuse, and the scutellary stria longer. 

 B. distinctus has no pore at the hinder third of the 3rd interstice. 

 Capt. Deville has specimens of B. shmyi from France.

FURTHER ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF SCILLY COLEOPTERA. 

 BY N. H. JOY, M.R.C.S., F.E.S., AND J. R. LE B. TOMLIN, M.A., F.E.S. 



The following list of 94 additions to the records of Scillonian 

 beetles is almost entkely the result of a week's collecting on the island 

 of Tresco last June. By far the rarest species now recorded is Oxytelus 

 2)iceus, L., of which a specimen was taken by one of us in April, 1908,
