[VOLUME XXXVII.] 



ADDITIONS, &c., TO THE LIST OP BRITISH COLEOPTEBA 

 DURING 1899 AND 1900. 



BY PROF. T. HUDSON BEARE, B.Sc, F.B.S. 



In the December number of vol. xxxiv (1898) of this Magazine, 

 Mr. Champion published an account of the additions, &c., to our list 

 during 1898, and as several novelties have been recorded during the 

 past two years, and disputed points in the synonymy of others have been 

 cleared up, it appears advisable to summarize them into one article. 



Carahus nitens, L., var. niger, Semenow. — Taken by Mr. Donisthorpe in the 

 New Forest in 1895 (Ent. Record, xi, p. 71). 



Anchomenus quadripunetatus, De Goer. — Hitherto this species has remained, 

 doubtfully, in our catalogue on the authority of one specimen taken many years ago 

 by Mr. Bold in Northumberland. Mr. Champion has taken it in numbers near 

 Woking, under fallen pine needles (Ent Mo. Mag., xxxvi, pp. 202, 236). 



Harpalus latus, L., v. erythrocephalus, F. — Found in numbers by Mr. W. E. 

 Sharp in North Wales (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxv, p. 159). I took it some years ago 

 near Oban, and Dawson mentions it in his Geodephaga Britannica. 



Phytosus nigriventris, Chevr. — Canon Fowler, in Jiis Coleoptera of the British 

 Islands (vol. ii, p. 170), expressed the opinion that probably this insect was identical 

 with P. balticux, Kraatz. Mr. Champion states (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxv, p. 1) that it 

 is a distinct species, and gives distinguishing characters; he mentions the Chesil 

 Beach as its locality. Since his note was published it has been recorded from Flint- 

 shire, and from Hoylake, and is no doubt as widely distributed as P. balticus. 



Diglotta siiiuatocollis, Muls. and Rey. — The only record of this insect given by 

 Canon Fowler {op. cil., ii, p. 171) is Ireland. Mr. Champion has taken it in Sheppey 

 (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxv, p. 265), and it has also been found at Weymouth and Altcar. 



Stichoglossa semirufa, Er. — Taken by Mr. Harwood near Colchester by beating 

 oaks (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxv, p. 55), an interesting addition. 



Trogophlaeux anglicanus, sp. n., Sharp. — Taken in fair numbers by Mr. Keys and 

 Dr. Cameron on the shores of a tidal stream at Plymoutli. It seems probable that 

 this insect is identical with T. iinicolor, sp. n. (Fauvel), Sharp, from New Zealand, 

 and that it has been introduced (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxvi, p. 232). 



Orocharea angustatus, Er. — A single specimen was taken about twelve years 

 ago by Mr. Piffard at Leverstock Green, Herts, at roots of rushes, in a disused clay 

 pit. It lias been recorded by Canon Fowler (Ent. Mo. Mag., xxxvi, p. 286).
