88 [April. 



Among the Staphjlinidae may be included Ocyusa picina and O. incrassata, 

 Homalota scapularis and M. humeralis, Medon apicalis, one specimen in haystack 

 refuse in company with scores of Mabrocerus capillaricornis on September 17th, 



1904, and a single Fseudopsis sulcata occurred in a similar locality on October 8th, 



1905. The following species have occurred in sphagnum in the spring of 19u5, 

 viz. : Megacronus cingulatus, Mt/cetoporus punclus, ixnd I'hi/lobius denticoUis,Gry\\., 

 and in the autumn, Actobius cinerascens, A. procerulus, A. signaticornis, Stenus 

 kiesenwetteri (one), Hyperaspis reppensis, Chrysomela didgmata, and four Trachgs 

 troglodytes, on October 3uth, 19U4. 



Evening sweeping as a rule is very unproductive, but several local species have 

 been met with, some of the better ones being Anisotoma badla, ovalis, Itlura, and 

 parvula ; one A. n«^06a was found crawling over a mossy stump at Streatley on 

 October 29th last j Agaricophagus cephalotes, Triarthron mdrkeli, Colon viennense 

 and brunneum have also occurred, I'selaphus dresdensis was met with on February 

 2l8t, 1904, in flood refuse, but owing to an injured knee I was unable to search for 

 more. Aphodius pulridns, I'lagiogonus arenarius, and lieptaulacus villosus are the 

 only Lamelticornla worth mentioning, and Elaier elongalulus, E. sanguinolentus, 

 Aphanisticus pusUius and Cryptohypnus 4:-pustulatus the best of the serricornia. 



On June 22nd, 1904, Lampyrls nocliluca was in great abundance on the chalk 

 downs near IStreatley, a friend and myself counting no fewer than 117 in a distance 

 of half a mile or so when returning from a " mothing " expedition. Dasytes niger 

 was found in flowers ot pink in a small garden, Antkocomus rufus was common 

 in reed-beds, Hapiocnemus itnpresfius, TUlus eLongalus, T/ianasimus Jormicat'ius, and 

 Axinotarsus ruficolUs were also met with. 



The genus Cis was represented by C. aitii, micans, hispidus, bidentatus, and 

 nitidus^yiith. Rkopalodontus froiiticomis and Enneurthroii cornutum, while Sphindus 

 dubius is sometimes not uncommon in small powdery fungi. The only Longicorns 

 of any interest are Asemum striatum, under iir bark, and Molorchus minor Siud 

 rhytoicia cylindrica, taken on the wing. Donacia crassipes, bidens, sparganii, 

 lemme, and coviari (in Sphagnum), are occasionally met with, but are very local 

 and scarce. Longitarsus holsaticus turns up in ones and twos, L. agiiis, dorsalis, 

 flavicornis, and peUucidus also occur more or less sparingly. 



Among the Heteromera, the only species of any interest are Tetratoma des- 

 maresti, Mordella fasciata, and Mordellistena abduminalis. 



In 1904 Rhinomacer altelaboides was taken in two localities, but I was unable 

 to find it last year. Among the Apions, the best include subulatiwi, genistis^ 

 urticarium, cruentatum, pal'ipes, hookeri, Jlavimanum, vicinum, atomarium^ 

 scutellare, livescerum, toaltoni, pubescens, tenue and ebeninum ; Trachyphloeus 

 squamulatus, T. alternans, Ceuthorrhynckus marginatus, and Ceuthorrhynchidius 

 terminatus, occur rarely in moss. Folydrusus sericeus and Mecinus circulatus were 

 found near Andover. Orchestes iota is fairly common on Myrica gale, and 

 O. saliceti rare on dwarf sallow. 



Gymnetron villosulus, Nanophyes lythri, and Clonus tuberculosus occur in the 

 low-lying meadows near the canal, and C. thapsus is not uncommon near Streatley. 

 Ceuthorrhynckus euphorbix, reseda;, and punctiger, and Ceuthorrhynchidius pyrrhor' 

 hynchus and melanarius are the best in their respective genera.
