Coleoptera in the Plymouth District. — During the past autmnn the following 

 noteworthy species of Coleoptera have occiu-red to me in the Plymouth district. 

 Unfortunately the captures for the most part are of single specimens only, and 

 continued search at the time, subsequent visits to the localities, and even 

 attempts at trapping, all failed to obtain further examples. Species with an 

 asterisk are new records for the covxnty. Amara consularis, Duft. (one), on 

 path, Tavy Valley ; *Ilyhius aenescens. Thorns, (one), Shaugh, Dartmoor ; 

 Rhantus pulverosus, Steph. (one), Shaugh — not taken by me previously for 

 twenty yeai'S, the marsh at Tothill where it used to occur having been long 

 since filled in for town improvements ; Hydroporus melanarius, Stnrm (one), 

 Shaugh ; H. marginatus, Dnit. (one), Tavy Valley. Perhaps I could have taken 

 more of this species if I had recognised it, but it was taken at dusk just before 

 leaving to catch the train for home. Philonthus corruscus, Grav. (one), in 

 carrion trap, near Horrabridge Station ; *P. thermarum, Aube (four), cut grass, 

 Yelverton ; *Homalium exiguum, Gyll. (one), and *Aphodius coiisputns, Cr, (one) 

 dead rabbit, Tavy Valley; Cryptophagus bicolor, Sturm (one), and *Monotoma 

 longicollis, Gyll. (in some numbers), in cut grass, Yelverton. 



I have also to record a few older captui-es, as follows .—July, 1897, * Philon- 

 thus splendidulus, Grav. (one), running on the pavement ; March, 1900, *Mono- 

 toma hrevicollis, Aube (two), in manure heap, Lipson Marsh — locality now 

 absorbed for town improvements ; July, 1902, *Apion schonherri. Boh. (one), 

 Bovisand ; May, 1909, *Choleva coracina, Kelln. (several). Awns and Dendles ; 

 Sept., *Lim7iius rivularis, Kosenh. (two), in the Avon, above S. Brent, Dart- 

 moor ; June, 1910, Ceuthorrhynchus parvulus, Bris. (eleven), near Kingsand 

 (Cornwall). As usual, I am indebted to Mr. E. A, Newbery for kindly looking 

 at some of the species for me. — James H. Keys, 2, Freedom Park Villas,
