NOTES ON HAKE BEETLES, No. II. 

 By William Lennon. 



Bead April 23d, 18S0. 



A yetii' or two since I bad tlie pleasure of preparing a paper for 

 the Society, giving an account of the rare or local species of 

 Coleoptera I had met with in this distiict. The paper to which 

 I allude was sulisequently printed in the last published part of the 

 Society's Transactions. I now propose to give, in the following 

 remarks, a continuation of my former paper, giving the names of 

 those species I have met with lately and the localities where they 

 were found. First then conies 



S}}hoclrus leiicophtlmhims. — Found in several of the shops and 

 houses in Galloway Street, Maxwelltown. I am indebted to Mr 

 Service for specimens of this beetle ; I have never found it myself. 



Ferileptus erolatus. — Not common ; the only locality I know for 

 it is under stones on both sides of the Cairn between Hawhill and 

 Irongray Kirk. 



Hydroporus novemlineattts. — A very scarce species ; I have found 

 it only in the White Loch, Colvend. 



H. picipes. — Also very scarce ; found in Maxwelltown Loch, 

 and also near Kelton. 



H. rufifrons. — Is very rare ; found once in the Cairn, near 

 Gribton, and once in Lochar, near Sandykuowe. 



H. qidnqiielhiecdus. — Also very rare ; the only locality I know 

 for it is a deep, stagnant pool on the east side of the Cargen Pow, 

 between the Dalbeattie road and the Castle-DouglaS road. 



Agahis solieri. — Rare ; I found three specimens in the Cairn, 

 near Gribton, and a few near Kelton in flood refuse. 



A. nitidus. — A very scarce insect ; found in running streams — 

 the Cairn, near Gribton. 



A. brunneus. — A rare insect ; I have not met with it elsewhere 

 than at Kelton in flood refuse. 



Helophorus tuberculatii,s. — I have taken one specimen of this, 

 and it may be considered almost unique, as, so far as I know, 

 only one other has been got in Britain. I found mine at Kelton 

 in flood refuse. I am indebted to Dr Sharp for naming this 

 insect for me.
