44 COLEOPTERA. 



find no more. Mr. Waterhonse has, I believe, already 

 alluded to the way in which Chevrolat found this insect in 

 France ; viz., by examining the burrows of Co^sus larvas by 

 night. The above-mentioned specimen (which I had the 

 Tantalean pleasure of re-setting) is now in Dr. Power's Col- 

 lection, thanks to the concession of Dr. Harper. 



In the New Forest, Turner also found several o^ Phloeotrya 

 (in solid wood), Tomoxia, Elater elongatulus and Leptura 

 aurulenta. The Longicorns, by the way, must have been 

 less uncommon near Haslemere, in Surrey, than in most 

 other places, judging from the number of specimens and 

 species T found in a box containing some random captures 

 made by Mr. Barrett at that place; amongst them were 

 Prioniis^ Pachyta octomaculata and Callidium violaceum. 



The capture of the extraordinary and most Gyrophenoid 

 Homalota notha by Mr. Brewer, near Strood, is especially 

 worthy of remark. Mr. E. Saunders, also, has recorded 

 locahties for Lathrohium pallidum (for a specimen of which 

 I am much indebted to him), Harpalus luteicornis and 

 Anchomenus gracilipes ; but I believe that the praiseworthy 

 work of cataloguing the Fauna of Reigate has prevented the 

 capture of more good things. The similar occupation of 

 Messrs. Douglas and Scott, upon their descriptions of British 

 Hemiptera, has also hindered those gentlemen from helping 

 our list of novelties ; the former, however, found Byrrhus 

 murinus in some numbers, at the roots of heath on Plum- 

 stead Common. 



I have not, in the above remarks, called particular atten- 

 tion to any of the species hereafter mentioned ; these will be 

 found in their proper places. Finally, it remains for me to 

 say, that Mr. G. R. Crotch, in answer to m}^ remarks in the 

 last Annual, has brought forward localities, &c. for many of
