COLEOPTERA. 79 



supplement to my list of Wigtownshire coleoptera, which appeared in 

 the February number of the Bemrd for 1903, and contain only species 

 added since then. Professor T. Hudson Beare has most kindly examined 

 almost all the specimens. In March, Sci/dmat'iixs rollaris, MiilL, and 

 Stenus paganus, Er., were taken on stones in a field, while under stones 

 Micropeplu.^ staphylinoirlr.H, Marsh., Tac/u/poruft nbtiisiix var. vitidicollis, 

 Steph., and Quedius semiaenens, Steph., were not uncommon. In April, 

 a single specimen of ('hri/somelo fastuom, L., was captured under a 

 stone in a field on the 6th, also Tarln/ponis hi/pnoyinn, F., a dark 

 aberration ; Aphodius pusillus, Herbst. plentiful in sheep-dung on the 

 moors, and Cytihis ran'Ks, F., on a stone by the sea. The hotbed 

 near the garden was again swarming with beetles, and produced a 

 single hister biniacidatus, h., on the 80th, besides Faloi/n'a sulcata, 

 Grav., Philonthus rentralis, Grav., O.vxjtelns tetracarinatm, Block., and 

 Cri/ptoliypnus dernieMoides, Herbst. During May much more work was 

 done, and several interesting species were taken. Xotinphilu^ aqtiatinoi, 

 L., among flood refuse ; Leistus rufescenft, F., two under stones ; 

 Anchinveivifi ericeti, Pz., one on a dead bird on the moor on the 7th ;

 White Loch, on the 18th ; Stoixs tarsalis, Ljun., S. bifovealafita, Gyll., 

 S'. mtidiiixciduii, Steph., and .S'. impressiis, Germ., swept in a damp 

 meadow; S. piibesceus, Steph., swept off rushes growing in a loch. On 

 the 8th, a fine, bright, sunny day, Subcoccivella 24:-pi(vctata, L., was 

 very plentiful on nettles, as many as six on one leaf, on the seashore 

 near Kirkmaiden, in company with Cnccinella 11-piinctato, L., rather 

 scarce, and C l-punctata, L., simply crawling on everything ; 

 Melanopthalma yibbosa, Herbst, on blackthorn ; Micrmnbe vim, Pz., 

 common on whins ; Parnus prolifericnrnis, F., and P. aiiiicidatits, Pz., 

 under stones on the shores of lochs; Aphodius putridns, Cr., and A. 

 nierdarim, F., not uncommon in sheep-dung on the moors ; Helodeft 

 niaryinatKs, F., Telephorns paliidosiis, Fall., and T. jiyuratiia, Mann., 

 swept among rough herbage near the Malzie burn ; MaltJiodes wispRiix, 

 Kies, two swept near together on a flat moor ; Jhmacia nbitciira, Gyll., 

 one swept among reeds growing in deep water from a boat, Loch 

 Chesney, on the 24th ; I>. simpleir, F., D. discolor, Pz., and GaMroides 

 polyyoni, L., swept on reeds in wet places : Hydi-othassa aiicta, F., 

 sitting on boards in the sun near Newton-Stuart, and (rcdcrncdla 

 nymphae, L., common by sweeping plants in the middle of a ditch, and 

 a single (asdda equestris, F., swept from rough herbage near the Malzie 

 burn on the 31st. In June, the following turned w^^Hydroporit^ 

 nicwnnnius, Nic, and H. pnbescens, Gyll., were swept in a damp 

 meadow; H. tristis, Pk. and GyrinnH iiiinutiis, ¥., in Loch Chesney ; 

 while Orectoehihia villoms, Miill., haunted water-lily leaves in the burn. 

 Sweeping rough herbage and grass in woods produced HdopJianis 

 brevipalpis, Grav., CryptopJuuius dnitatiis, Herbst, (dryuibefpfi /jnereiis. 

 Gyll., and var. oc/iropUrns, Steph., Ayrintes pallididioi, 111., Adrastiis 

 linihatiif;, F., several; Hehidrs wiuutus, h., Malt/iodrs moryinattis.Jjat.,

 Steph., and < repidodcra fcnuyinca, Scop. : a few (/rytoeephaliis lahiatits;, 

 L., on heather. Under sand-boxes on the golf course, at Glenhice, several 

 Heliopathes yibbus, Marsh., on the 11th ; while a single Ajdwdiiis 

 xcybolariKs, F., new to the Sol way, was found in cow-dung at the same 

 place on the 28th; Ant/iop/iagus tefitaecus, Grav., Atlioiis hafmorr/ioidalis,
