32 [February, 



fairly common in September as before ; one short length of stone wall supplied 

 me with as many as I wanted, and I found a living specimen as late as 

 October 30th ; Apion hrunnipes, Boh. {lievigatum, Kirby), not uncommon in 

 sandy fields at Tubney (where Mr. W. Holland first fovuid it in fair numbers in 

 1907) on Filago minima and F. fjermanica, in late summer and autumn ; Tany- 

 mecus palliatus, in large numbers on Centaurea scahiosa in Pixey Mead, on the 

 Oxfordshire side of King's Weir ; Liosoma ohlongulum, one specunen found on 

 a primrose stalk at Wytham Park, April 28th ; Dorytomus tremulse, sparingly 

 on Popuhis cinerea at the end of June, at CothiU, where I took a good series of 

 Rhytidosomus globulus off small saplings of the same kind of tree, and the latter 

 species occurred there again in September ; Gymnetron rostellum, fairly frequent 

 in September, in sandy places at Tubney, and apparently attached to Veronica 

 officinalis; Ceuthorrhynchus pilosellus, three examples of this rare species by 

 sweeping at Tubney (July 31st, August 26th, and September 2nd) ; unfortu- 

 nately I could not refer them to any particular plant ; C. euphorhim, frequent at 

 Tubney in September, mostly coming off Nepeta glechoma ; Cryphalus abietis, 

 four specimens by sweeping under a large larch tree at Weston-on-the-Green, 

 Oxon, May 3rd.— Id. : January 8th, 1910. 



Chsetocnema arida, Foudr., in the Wohing district. — It is perhaps worth 

 noting that I have taken this insect singly at Chobham (September 10th, 1S76), 

 Woking, and in the London district. C. arida has recently been added to our 

 list by Mr. Donisthorpe, on the autliority of specimens captured in the Isle of 

 Wight. It will probably be found that the species has lieen doing duty for 

 C. aridula, Gryll., in British collections other than my own. This insect differs 

 from C. hortensis, Fourcr. {aridella, Payk.), in having the upper siu-face more 

 shining, the basal joint of the antennae infuscate above, and all the femora 

 piceous or black. — G. C. Champion, Horsell, Woking : September 12th, 1910. 



Cryphalus abietis, Ratz., in Scotland. — I find I have omitted to record the 

 fact that I beat a specimen of this species off a shrvib growing alongside 

 a grove of Scots firs at Gorebridge, near Edinburgh, on May 13th, 1905. The 

 specimen has been compared with a continental exponent of the species sent to 

 me by Herr Eeitter. — T. Hudson Beare, 10, Regent Terrace, Edinburgh : 

 January 1st, 1910. 



Further additions to the Isle of Wight list of Coleoptera. — Mr. J. Taylor 

 of Sandown has taken the following species, all of which are additions to the 

 recently published " Guide to the Natural History of the Isle of Wight." In 

 moles' nests, Medon castaneus, Gr., Onthophilus globulosus, 01., Quedius longi- 

 cornis, Kr., Aleochara spadicea, Er., and Heterothops nigra, Kr. In stack refuse, 

 etc., Homalota seneicollis, Sharp (queried by Newbery, and since confirmed by 

 Capt. Sainte Claire Deville), and Quedius boops, Gr. AU taken in the neighbour- 

 hood of Sandown. In the Entomologist's Record for December, 1909, pp. 272- 

 276, will be found an additional 82 species new to the above list. These include 

 the 6 species recorded by Newbery in the Jamiary number of the Ent. Mo. Mag.,
