pines in the south of England during recent years (like Tetropiuin on 

 the Lirches), and that such forms as Brachonyx pinefi* Magdalis 

 plilerjmatica or violacea, Adelocera cnrhonaria (a large Elaterid of 

 wide continental distribution and also found on charred ])ines), or 

 Anfhaxia quadrqmncfafa, may yet be found to occur in these southern 

 pine-woods ! Amongst other pine-feeders, two additional species have 

 come under my notice at Woking this year, viz., Rliinomacer attela- 

 hoides, F., one specimen, taken by my sou, on broom in a pine-wood, 

 on May 30th, and Pedlacus depressus, Herbst, one specimen, found in 

 July last, at sap of a felled pine, in Maybury Wood, b}^ my friend 

 Mr. Barton. 



List of Coleoptera found in the Wolcinq district on or beneath pines 

 injured by fire. 



Anchomenus quadripiinctatus, De G. — Found in numbers under 

 charred pine-needles in August, 1900, and singly in the same locality 

 on May 31st, 1902, and not again met with. 



Dromias ongustus, Brulle (cf Ent. Mo. Mag., xliv, p. 121). — Not 

 uncommon in the dead branches of the pines in various places in the 

 district, and much more frequent than D. agilis and D. 7iieridionaUs, from 

 both of which it is easily distinguished by its narrow, elongate form, and 

 paler coloration. The species was first observed at Woking in 1906, 

 and several specimens were also found here last year by Mr. Barton. f 

 D. -i-maculcitus, 4i-notcftus, linearis, and melanocephaliis have in addition 

 been seen on the pines, making seven species of the genus altogether. 



Epurxa parvula, Sturm. — Karely on the pines, some of the ex- 

 amples being soft and immature. An insect usually found in birch 

 or hazel faggots, in this district and elsewhere. 



Cryptophagus cylindrus, Kies. — Very rarely on the pines. Fii'st 

 recorded from the district, from Chobham, in 1907. 



Atoniaria hadia, Er. — Very rare. This insect, however, has long 

 been known to me from the district. 



Liemophloeus ferrugineus, Steph. — Occasional. 



Litargus bifasciatus, F. — Not rare, under dry bark. 



Coninomus consfrictus, Gyll. — Twice, on the pines. An insect 

 usually associated with oak, in my experience, in this district. 



Corticaria eppelsheimi, Reitt. {cf Ent. Mo. Mag., xliv, pp. 125- 



* This insect has been found, I believe, at Mildenhall, Suffolk, by Mr. Perkins. I have 

 taken it in the lower part of the Rhone Valley, at Sion and Sierre, as well as in the highlands 

 of Scotland. 



t It was taken in 19U8 at Nethybridge by Dr. Sharp and Mr. Bishop.
