locality (v. Ent. Mo. Mag., 1896, 139), and they agree with L. equifans, 

 in having a dilated last tarsal joint with produced corners and large 

 pulvilli, also in the produced frons, but they are entirely different in 

 colour, being black, legs with the front knees, and all the tarsi 

 yellowish, eyes smaller and jowls deeper (fig. 2), thorax with (I 

 believe) two pairs of dorso-central bristles, middle tibiae with two 

 distinct j^re-apical bristles close together, and wings (fig. 5) with the 

 second costal segment longer in proportion to the third.

Coleoptera at WoMng and Guildford. — The following species of Coleoptera, 

 amongst otliers, captvired in the Woking district or at Guildford during the 

 past season are perhaps worth recording, a few of them being new to me 

 (marked with a *) from these localities : — 



Woking District. — Uydroporus neglectus,* in some nimibers in April, also 

 found by Mr. J. J. Walker. Gymnusa brcvicollis, one specimen, previovisly seen 

 at Chobham only. Anisotoma lunicollis* Triarthron mdrkeli, seen as late as 

 August 27th. Abdera hifasciata, one specimen resting on a charred pine. Asemum 

 striatum, May 20th and 21st, emerging in some numbers from charred pine stumps. 

 Criocephalus ferus, sparingly, July 9th — August 14th. Melanophila acuminata, 

 more frequent this year than last, Jxoly 9th — September 17th, the last two 

 captvu-ed were kept alive for about a fortnight ; one specimen was found quite 

 late in the evening on a chax'red stump, it being a new experience to me to 

 come across a Buprestid under such conditions. Balaninus cerasorum, rarely, 

 and -B. r%ibidus, commonly, on birch, at Chobham, in August. Dorytomus 

 validirostris* and D. vorax,* vmder bark of a large poplar, in February. 

 Cryptocephalus p^mctiger and C. parvulus, on birch, Chobham.

Polydrosus chrysomela, Oliv., and P. conflueiis, Steph., apterous or subapterous 

 insects. — I have recently had occasion to examine critically our British species 

 of Polydrosus, and was surprised to find that P. chrysomela was completely 

 apterous, and that P. conjiuens had the merest rudunents of wings, our other
