NEW BRITISH SPECIES, ETC., IN 1873. 57 



and Colon rufescens, Zebei, dentipes, viennense, and, of 

 course, hrunneum (all in one little spot) at Caterham ; 

 Xantholinus glaher and Megapenthes tibialis (again), in 

 Richmond Park ; Homalota splendens, Salpingus ceratus, 

 Euplectus Kunzei, at Dorking ; ScydmcBnus Godarti and 

 Prionus at Lougliton (the latter giant, testibus H. T. Stainton 

 et W. C. Hewitson, abounds near Weybridge, and must look 

 like a cocked-hat flying about) ; Cryptophagus rujicornis, 

 again in black fungus on ash, and in company with Diphyllus, 

 at Chatham ; Stenus major at Darenth ; Lathridius tes- 

 taceus and Dromius A-signaius at Peckham ; L. carinatus 

 and Anthonomus Chevrolati at Shirley ; Gyrophcena put- 

 chella, Stenus brevicollis, Silvaniis similis, Atotnaria badia, 

 Bagous lutulosus, and Nanophyes gracilis at Esher (the 

 latter has also been again taken by myself, and is now known 

 to occur in three different localities, at an interval of a mile. 

 See Frontisp., fig. 5). 



Mr. Champion has also chronicled (/. c, x, p. 158) the 

 capture of many good things already known to occur at 

 Braemar, of which Bryoporus rugipennis, varying ex- 

 tremely in the punctuation of its elytra, and including 

 examples similar to that mentioned in Ent. Ann. 1871, 

 p. 33, and a dark race of Podabrus alpinus, with entirely 

 dark legs, are very interesting. 



The Rev. H. S. Gorham writes to me that the following 

 species have occurred to him : — 



At Rusper, Hypulus quercinus, out of " wet stuff," with 

 no old stumps near, Cryptocephaliis frontalis, Dromius 

 4-signattcs, A?ichotnenus livens^ Achenium humile (in the 

 churchyard), and Lycoperdina bovistce^ a few specimens, 

 on puff-balls at the root of an ash tree, whither they had 

 come, probably, to deposit ova, as there were no larvae or 

 beetles inside the puff-balls ; on alders, on Leith Hill,
