CO LEO PTERA IN H E.R E F O RD S H I R E (II). 

 BY J. n. LE B. TO^MLIN, M.A. , F.E.S. 



In spite of the vagaries of the alleged siunmer of 1909, I am 

 able to record a large iiuDiber of interesting species which have not 

 so far been noted in this county. Only one or two on the list given 

 below occur in the Victoria County History's list. This year's 

 researches have widely extended the range of some of the species 

 I'ecorded in my previous paper on p. 56 of the present volume, 

 e.g., Henicocerus, Dianous., Stenus hiqriltatus, ILlmis cupreus and 

 nifens, and Limnius troglodytes. The Great Dowiird is a big well- 

 wooded limestone hill on the opposite side of the Wye to Symond's 

 Tat, while Huntsham Hill (Old lied Sandstone) lies to the north of 

 the same place. Where no indication is given, the species may be 

 considered fairly common.

 the specimens were almost entirely dark, but one, apparently mature, was bright 

 yellow all over. Harpalux ruftbarbi.i, F., rare on the banks of the Tenie.
