myself in 1909 under .scDi'clied piiie-bark ;it Woking, and one ol'tlie largest of 

 tliem was figured in this ]Magazine (ante, ^vol. xlvi, pi. 4, tigs. 5, o a, 1010), but 

 neither W. E. Sliarp nor Dr. Nicholson appears to have met with the insect in 

 its earlier stages.— G. C. Champion, Plorsell : July 10th, 19U>. 



Aleuonota egvMjia Rye and Ocypits cynntus Payk. in Norfolk. — li is ol 

 icterest to record tiie capture of these Staphylinidae. A $ specimen of the 

 former was taken on Juiie ord at the entrance to a rabljit buiTow and 

 the latter on a road on June 25th, both at Sheringhani, Norfolk. —

[The Alenonota [Homolofa) ha.s remained unique as I3ritisli since tiie 

 capture of a single specimen at Caterluim, Surrej^, by myself, on June 3rd, 

 1873 (Ent. Mo. Mag. xii, p. 176, 1870). The Oq/jjus has been recorded in 

 recent years from the Eastern Counties (Norfolk, Sutl'olk, and E«sex), Oxford, 

 Scotland (Nairn and Grantown), etc. — G. C. C] 



Coleopteva of tho Briyhtun District (continued from Ent. Mo. Mag. 1918, 

 p. -!11). — Since last July 1 have done very little collecting, but some of the 

 species which have turned up may be worthy of notice. I have divided 

 the district as before into : The Chalk downs, the f:mall woods on the downs, 

 the alluvial river valleys with their networks of ditches and streams, and the 

 Wealden area. Mr. E. A. Elliott and the late Mr. W. E. Sharp have been 

 very kind in identifying several of the specimens for me, and the Rev. C. E. 

 Tottenham has given me great assistance by sending named insects. I would 

 like to take this opportunity of offering them my sincerest thanks. Owing to 

 lack of time many groups have been very little " worked " ; the f^ffqjJiylimdae 

 and water- beetles, for example, have received very little attention. 



(1) The Chalk downs and the beech copse.ti on them. 



Amara apricaria, several in mud-cracks at the bottom of a dried-up dew- 

 pond ; A, aidica, under a stone, Stanmer. Olisthapits rotundatus, one under a 

 stone in a chalk-pit. Noterus clavicornis was very plentiful in a pnnd on the 

 Newhaven cliff, with several Hhantus puuctatus. 1 have at last found Necro- 

 pliorus vesjnlh, of which there were several in a dead mole at Stanmer*. 

 Though this is often supposed to be the most common species, I have never 

 taken it before, either in Sussex or Rerkshire. Omosita discoidca, one in a 

 sheep's skull at Stanmer. Vis boleti, under beecli-bark. Rhizubius litura, 

 several by sweeping at Stanmer. Quedins Diolochinus, I found the pupa of this 

 insect at the root of a clump of heather, the beetle emerged in May. Cajius 

 xanthohnia, one under a stone at ''• Rlack Rock." Aphodius rufiis and A. stic- 

 ticns each made a few appearances in sfercore equino, also a specimen each of 

 Onthopliayus ovatus and O.fracticornis. I picked up a J Drilas Jtnuesccns on 

 the London road, and on the same day 1 got two more by sweeping outside a 

 beech wood near Lewes (vi.l919). (irammopiera rujicornis, not connnon, 

 Stanmer. Timarclia tenebricoxa has, unlilce other years, been quite abundant 

 on the downs and outside woods this y>!ar. Chrysomela staphylea, by sweeping 

 in Stanmer Woods. Psylliodes didcamarae lias turned up once at Stanmer, and 

 on the same day I got a single Centhorrhynchidius horridus (viii.1918).
