1 (2) Scutellum entirely matt black scutellata, Hal. 



2 (1) Scutellum with central part shining. 



3 (■!•) Pleura; with matt black spots guttata, Fin. 



•4 (3) Pleura; without matt black spots nitida, Mcq. 



The clear spots on each side of the outer cross vein in guttata 

 are absent in nitida, and in the latter the 5th vein is much less 

 distinctly bent before the cross vein, and the legs are paler. All 

 three species occurred abundantly at Bonhill in May and June of 

 this year.

Additional localities for Anisotoma flavicornis, Ch. Brisoul. — We are indebted 

 to Mr. N. 11. Joy for the first record of this species as British. It will be found, I 

 think, that nearly all the examples standing in our collections under the name A. 

 parvula are really A. flavicornis. At any rate, that is the case as regards my own 

 series of nineteen specimens, seventeen apparently belonging to A. flavicornis and 

 two to A. parvula. The sharply toothed posterior femora of the $ of A. flavi- 

 cornis, as stated by Mr. Joy, readily distinguishes that species, but the females of 

 the two insects are by no means easily separable, the colour of the antennal club not 

 being a reliable character. My own A. flavicornis are all from Kent or Surrey — 

 Darenth Wood, Cobham Park, Whitstable, Caterham, Mickleham, Claygate, and 

 Guildford (some of these localities being quoted by Canon Fowler, on my authority, 

 for A. parvula) and my two A. parvula are from Chattenden and Chatham re- 

 spectively. — Gc. C. Champion, Horsell, Woking : August IZth, 1908. 



Supplementary note on Mr. N. H. Joifs list of Scilly Island Coleoptera. — 

 Mr. Joy, in his valuable "Note on the Coleoptera of the Scilly Islands" (antea, 

 pp. 175 — 178), appears to have overlooked my Supplementary List [Ent. Mo. Mag , 

 xxxv, pp. 15(3, 157 (July, 1899)], bringing up the total number of species from 126 

 to 162. Amongst the 36 additions to my first list, 23 are not included by Mr. Joy, 

 and 13 (out of his 139 said to have not been previously recorded) have to be de- 

 ducted, making the present number 275. It may be remarked that I made my 

 head-quarters on St. Mary's, whereas Mr. Joy spent his time on Tresco, which I 

 visited for a lew hours only. This island, with its large freshwater-lake, and its 

 beautiful sheltered shrubberies and gardens, is evidently, as might be expected, 

 a much more favourable hunting-ground than the wind-swept treeless, St. 

 Mary's, as shown by the large number of species (200) met with by Mr. Joy. 

 Apparently he found no trace of I'leuropltorus (Psammobius) acsus, which is said 

 to have occurred on Tresco. This may be the insect alluded to by Mr. Holme ? 

 I'issodes notatus and Jli/lastes ater are, of course, introduced forms. Doubtless 

 others of the same class will yet be found there. — Id. : August Ylth, 1908.
