26 COLEOPTERA. 



It will be observed that Microptinus gonospermi has as 

 yet no real claim to admission even in the European list. 



1. Anchomenus versutus, Sturm. 



var. luguhris, Dufts., Faun. Aiistr., ii, p. 137 ; 

 Schaum, Ins. Deutschl., i, p. 421 ; E. C. Rye, The 

 Entomologists' Monthly Magazine, vol. vii, p. 36. 

 I have met with what I consider to be this form, amongst 

 a number of the type taken at Wimbledon. 



2. Amara QuENSELi, Schon.,Syn. Ins.,i,p. 190; Schaum, 



Ins. Deutschl., i, p. ^A2 ; R. Hislop, Ent. Monthly 

 Mag., vol. vi. p. 212. 

 Two or three specimens of an Amara found by Mr. Hislop 

 at a height of between 2,000 and 3,000 feet on the mountains 

 of Braemar in June, 1869, have been referred to A. Quenseli 

 by M. Putzeys, to whom they were forwarded by Mr. Crotch. 

 This species belongs to the sub-genus Celia; and, compared 

 with A. rufocincta and hifrons, is broader, more ovate and 

 depressed, with the elytral striae faint and not deepened 

 towards the apex. It is brassy in colour; but the elytra 

 seem to be sometimes non-metallic and dull ferruginous, 

 while the thorax is greenish. 



3. Bembidium quadripustulatum (Frontisp., Fig. 5), 



Dej. ; Schaum, Ins. Deutschl., i, p. 732 ; H. S. 

 Gorham, Ent. Monthly Mag., vol. vii, p. 35. 

 A small series of this interesting addition to our list has 

 been taken during the past summer by the Rev. H. S. 

 Gorham, in a wet place at Bearsted, near Maidstone, in 

 company with B. Sturmii. It is intermediate between B. 

 quadriniaculatum and quaclriguttatum, from the former of 

 wdiich it differs in its superior size and darker legs; from the 

 latter in its smaller size, shorter build, and smaller elytral
