42 COLEOPTEIIA. 



Acanthocinus, Pissodes, Sltones cambricus, Ceutkorhynchus 

 viduatus and OmaUum inflatum are some of their captures. 

 They also found the type-form of Xantholinus tricolor (with 

 base of thorax broadly dark), which I have never seen in the 

 south, though I have often taken the species near Croydon 

 and on the coast (are these latter X. elegans ?). Mr. Sharp 

 and Mr. Henderson of Glasgow also took the lovely var. 

 ciliaris of Creophilus maxillosus. 



Near Glasgow, Messrs. Somerville, Bishop, &c. have 

 taken several good things, Dinoderus siibstriatus, Schisto- 

 glossa viduata and Oxypoda rvjicornis not being the worst. 

 At Paisley, Mr. Morris Young has found Micropeplus 

 tesserula, Mycetoporus Planus, Scydmcenus exilis, Tachy- 

 porus riijicollis, and many other rarities. A little further 

 south, Mr. T. J. Bold (who is so ably reviewing and adding 

 to the Noithumberland Coleopterous Fauna) has found " at 

 home " Stenus atratidus, Atomariafumata, and both species 

 of Phytosus, also the lovely Telephorus ahdominalis^ which 

 Mr. T. Blackburn also took plentifully in the north. 



From the Midland counties I have '*no advice," except 

 that Mr. Cook, of Manchester, has met with a single example 

 of Aphodius villosus. I may here mention that Stenus 

 Guynemeri, with its satellite Quedius auricomus, has been 

 found in several new localities, at one of which (in Wales) 

 my friend Mr. Garneys also took J^uryporus picipes. 



In the immediate London district Ccenopsis fisnirostris 

 has been taken by Dr. Power, myself, and Mr. Sharp, in 

 moss (evidently its natural habitat, as eleven specimens were, 

 in all, found) near Croydon. Here also occurred Myceto- 

 porus lucidus, Stenus lustrator, Quedius truncicola, Tha- 

 lycra sericea, Epuroea lO-guttatttf Anisotoina nigritay 

 Sitones cavihricusj Smicronyx, Trichonyx Mdrkellii, &c.
