LIST OF THE COLEOPTERA OF ALDERNEY. 

 BY w. A. Lurr. 



In the Transactions of the Guernsey Society of Natural Science 

 for 1S97, I published a list of the Insects of Alderney, as far as then 

 known. In this list 55 species of Coleoptera were recorded. Through 

 the kindness of Mr. E. D. Marquand, who has taken up his residence 

 on the island for the purpose of completing his work on the Flora of 

 Guernsey and the lesser Channel Islands, I am able to add 84 to this 

 number, making 139 species in all. 



The most interesting species are RJiizotrogus cestivtis and Grypto- 

 cephalus vittatus, neither of which is on the British list. Several 

 specimens of a black variety of the latter species were taken, which 

 I at first thought were referable to G. morcei, a species occurring not 

 uncommonly in Guernsey with G. vittatus. The Bhizotrogus is perhaps 

 a visitor from the adjacent mainland, it being a widely distributed 

 species in France. Necropliorus germanieiis and Meloe brevicollis are 

 also worthy of special notice. 



The following is a complete list of the Coleoptera now known to 

 occur in the island. The additional captures made by Mr. E. D. 

 Marquand in 1899 are distinguished by an asterisk. I have to 

 thank Mr. G. C. Champion, F.Z.S., for his kindness in naming many 

 of the specimens.
