COLEOPTEROUS INSECTS ADDED TO THE 
. Atomaria apicalis, Er. 
Very rare; Long Benton, September. 
. Orchesia micans, Panz. 
Bred from a fungus (Polyporus radiatus), growing on 
Alder, near Wooler, by Mr. James Hardy. 
Carida flecuosa, Payx. 
This handsome addition was. also made by Mr. Hardy, 
who found it in the above mentioned fungus, on gathering it. 
Gyllenhal records this insect as occurring under similar cir- 
cumstances. [| “ Habitat in fungis arboreis, presertim alni” | 
in Sweden. 
Sitones Melilott, WAauron. 
I have sought for this insect for some years without suc- 
cess, but found it at last near Hartley, on some tufts of 
Melilot trefoil (Melilotus officinalis), in Sept. and Oct. 
Longitarsis flavicornis (Kirpy) STEPH. 
Not common; sea banks near Hartley. 
Longitarsis atricapilla, Durts. 
Banks near Hartley in August, and at Gosforth in July. 
Allard’s “ Essai Monographique sur les Galerucites Anisopodes 
(Altises),”’* will be found of great use in clearing up doubts in 
this tribe of insects; and it is of especial use to the English stu- 
dent, as Mons. Allard was furnished with types of, and compre- 
hensive notes on the British species, by Mr. Waterhouse.
