Coleoptera in Cumberland. — Among recent captures are a nvunber of species 

 worth noting, either on accovmt of their pi-evious rarity with us, or as being 

 now recorded from the county for the first time, such new records being, as 

 usual, indicated by an asterisk. 



Blethisa multipunctata, L., taken freely in May on the grassy margins of 

 a large pond near Carlisle ; *Bembidium nitidulum. Marsh., common on the 

 clayey banks of the Camwhinton brick ponds ; Haliplus obliquus, F., common in 

 the same ponds, the only previous county record being on the authority of the 

 late T. J. Bold ; Hydroporus pictus, F., a number taken in a pond in a disused 

 freestone quarry near Carlisle ; H. ferrugineus, Steph., in the Camwhinton brick 

 ponds; *Agabus unguicularis, Th., any previous records of this species for Cum- 

 berland I'efer to affinis, Pk., a common insect here in boggy ponds ; I have now 

 taken the true unguicularis in Thui'stonfield Lough, a large sheet of clear fresh 

 water near Carlisle, but it is apparently scarce, as much search has only yielded 

 five specimens, three males and two females. Hydrochus brevis, Hbst., taken 

 rather freely in May, 1909, by dredging up the mud in the overflow pools by the 

 sides of the before-mentioned Lough. Having several requests for it, I looked 

 for it again this spring, but vmsuccessfully. *H. angustatus, Germ., one speci- 

 men on Burgh Marsh ; *Helophorus mulsanti. Rye, not uncommon in shallow, 

 brackish pools on the Solway Marshes ; Ochthebius niarinus, Pk., common at the 

 moutli of the River Waver ; Anacwna limbata, F., rather a scarce species here, 

 but widely distribiited, *ovata, Reiche, being much more often met with. 



*Aleochara lygwa, Kr., one example at Silloth in seaweed ; Oxypoda specta- 

 bilis, Mark., swept in wood rides ; Homalota gemina, Er., curtipennis, Slip., a^ibei, 

 Bris., all in moss ; H. eremita. Rye, rather common in moss both at high and 

 low elevations ; *H. oblita, Er., boletobia, Th., autumnalis, Er., in fungi in Gelt 

 Woods ; H. cauta, Er., villosula, Kr., cinnamoptera, Th., among dead leaves, &c., 

 in various localities ; *H. alpestris, Heer, in flood refuse by the River Petteril ; 

 U. pilosiventris, Th., a few specimens in fvmgi ; H. pallc7is, Redt., one or two in 

 flood refuse ; If. soror, Kr., H. cavifrons, Shp., H. exilis, Kr., in moss and flood 

 refuse. *Actobius signaticoniis. Muls., taken in autumn on sandy banks by the 

 River Calder ; Lathrobium longuhim, Gr., occasionally in flood refuse. Tachinus 

 proximus, Kr., in fungi in auttimn, not uncommon and more often taken than 

 humeralis, Gr. ; T. laticollis, Gr., common in dung. Stenus foveicollis, Kr., a few 

 taken in sphagntun, Bowness Moss and Oaton Woods ; 8. lustrator, Er., binotatus, 

 Ljun., cicindeloides, Gr., ixnder refuse by Monkhill Lough. *Lesteva punctata, 

 Kr., in waterfall moss in the Gelt Valley, this species was I'ecorded from 

 Cumberland in error by Mr. Murray (Ent. Mo. Mag., 1909, p. 137). Omalium 

 tricolor, Rey, several in flood refuse in the Petteril Valley.
