Anisotoma davidiana, Joy, not synonymous with A. diibia v. bicolor, Schaum. — 

 I have liad the opportunity of comparing my specimens of A. davidiana with 

 two examples of A. dubia v. bicolor named by Dr. Fleischer, and find they are 

 quite distinct. Dr. Fleischer has examined a specimen of A. davidiana and 

 declares lie has not seen the form before. — Id. 



Coleoptera m Devo7ishire. — In continuation of my notes in Ent. Mo. Mag., 

 xlvi, pp. 115-117, the following list is, with the exception of Arena, restricted 

 to insects that I can record from fresh localities, and includes various species 

 which have previously been overlooked. 



Shaldon (1910). Trechus subnotatus and Lesteva fontinalis (brought for- 

 ward in Ent. Mo. Mag., xlvi, pp. 131 and 109 respectively), Homalota Isevana, 

 Crepidodcra vcntralis (one on sallow), and *Otiorrhynchus fuscipes. Bovet 

 Tbacet (1909). *Homalota humeralis, H. gayatina, and Gymnetron antirrhini. 

 Dawlish Warren (1910). One *Homalota imbecilla in old tide rubbish, two 

 Arena octavii under seaweed in March, and one Anisotoma duhia on the sand- 

 hillocks. South Brent (1908). One Homalota intermedia from fungus. 

 Christow (1907). One Hydroporus celatus in E. Teign, one *Orthoperus kluki 

 from fungus, and an Orthochaetes setiger by sweeping. Exminsteb (1910). 

 Acup)alp>us exiguus, Callicerus obsc^irxis, Lathrobium longuhim, and (1909) one 

 *Ualiplus heydeni, in the marshes. Belstone, near Okehampton (1901). One 

 Hister stercorarius. Ltdeord (1891). One Carabus arvensis, Taphria nivalis. 

 Buckfastleigh (1905). Three Aleochara mwrens. Kingsbridge (Christmas,

Dui'ing the last fortnight of 1910. — Aleochara spadicea (1), Qucdius atten- 

 uatus (1), and Philonthus albipes (3), from flood rubbish ; Quedius scintillans, 

 Ephistemus globosus (1), Apion filirostre (1), Ceuthorrhynchus pimctiger (1), and 

 C. litura, from rush roots ; Bythinus curtisi in moss. The record of Ceuth. 

 triangulum from here (xlv, p. 87) is erroneous and should be deleted. 



In March, 1892, I found a Strangalia 4-fasciata (under bark) near 

 Dulverton, biit I am imable to say on which side of the Devon- Somerset 

 county border it was. 



I am again greatly indebted to Mr. E A. Newbery for his kindness in 

 verifying difliciilt species. — Philip de la Garde, " Abbottsfield," Braunton, 

 N. Devon: January 20th, 1911. 



Coleoptera at Cheltenham, 1910. — Although I was able to do very little 

 collecting diiring a few months' stay at Leckhampton, near Cheltenham, some 

 of the species then obtained may be worthy of note, especially as there appears 

 to be no published list of Gloucestershire Coleoptera beyond the few records 

 given in the Eev. W. W. Fowler's work. 



* Not i)reviou.sIy recorded for the comity, I believe.
