WINTER CAMPAIGN IN SPAIN AND NORTH AFRICA. 77 



Among other species I found Clilcenius velutinus, C. agrorum, 

 C. vestitus, and some specimens of Nehria andaliisica, Rambur. 

 After half an hour's journey the brook is crossed and a wide 

 valley is readied, which is bounded alternately by small woods 

 of cork trees and stony banks. Under the stones lying plentifully 

 around were found abundanth' Percus jjolitus var. vandalitice, 

 Iteiche, Siagona dejeani and S. jenissoni, Aptinus displosor,

If one penetrates into the cork woods quite different species 

 occur. Under loosened bark are to be found Brachyderes pubes- 

 cens in very numerous examples, and with it, singly, Helops coria- 

 ceus, Cardiophorus bipunctatus, C. idcerosus, Stylosomns iliciada, 

 Lebia rufipes, and the rare Singilis bicolor ; while from off the 

 broom bushes may be beaten Gonioctena litiira and G. wgrota, as 

 well as a new Strophosoinus. In tht- damp places numbers of 

 Mastigus palpalis are running about. Further along the valley 

 turns to the south-west, and one reaches a very old aqueduct, 

 dating back, probably, to the time of the Romans : this spans the 

 valley in its entire breadth. Around this aqueduct the ground is 

 nuirshy, and there occurs a genuine marsli beetle, Carabus inelan- 

 cholicus, plentifully ; while under stones CJdceyiius virens, Ditomus 

 gracilis, Aristus spharocephalus, Litoborus planicollis, Heliopathes 

 ibericus ; more rarely Melyris granulata, Ophonus hisp>anus,
