164 Dr. T. A. Chapman and Mr. G. C. Champion on 
when at rest), Rhynchites sericeus, Athous godarti, Muls., and 
A, nigricornis, Bris., and on flowers in open places various 
Clytids, Lepturids, Malachiids, Mordellids, Cidemerids, 
Cryptocephalus globicollis, Omophlus ruficollis, Cerocoma, 
Coryna, Lobonyx, Trichius, Anisoplia betica, etc. In grassy 
places on the higher slopes one or two Lhizotrog. flew 
about freely in the hot sun (all males), and a Hymenoplia 
and a Henicopus were locally abundant. On the summits, 
Otiorrhynchus dentipes was almost the only species to 
be met with. Fresh horse-droppings attracted many 
Geotrupes coruscans, a brilliant insect in the sunshine, 
Sisyphus, ete, and on the banks of the mountain 
streams various Bembidia, Tachys, Stenus, Philonthus rufi- 
manus, Parnus, Pederus, etc. occurred. About Vigo and 
Pontevedra, a small hairy Lamellicorn, Chasmatopterus 
hirtulus, swarmed in flowers, on which also were to be 
seen Hxocosoma lusitanicum, Omophlus ruficollis, ete. A 
large Genista with woolly-pods, and an Adenocarpus, were 
the most attractive plants in the district, producing 
Creorrhinus ludificator and C. dispar ?, Pachytychius spar- 
sutus (in abundance), Apion flavofemoratum (commonly), a 
beautiful Husomus, Cryptocephalus vittatus and C. koyi, a 
Helops, Cardiophorus signatus, etc. ; and on the heath-clad 
hillsides a white-flowered Daphne (cenidiwm or near it) 
seemed to attract most of the beetles in the immediate 
vicinity * (Melanotus, Cardiophorus, Apion, various small 
Malachiids, etc.). On young oaks a Malthinus, Clythra 
leviuscula, and Cyphus nitens were found in numbers, and 
on young sallows a Stylosomus and a Luperus, both in 
abundance. Older oaks on the dry hillsides harboured 
various Balanini, Brachyderes lusitanicus, Xylophilus neg- 
lectus, a minute Malachiid, etc. At Cangas, in the bay of 
Vigo, an Hrodius abounded on the sand-dunes, and at the 
roots of grass, etc. Chrysomela diluta (in profusion), a very 
minute Malachiid (Colotes punctatus ?), and divers species of 
Harpalus, Anthicus, and Melanophthalma were captured. 
On the muddy tidal flats at Pontevedra Cillenus lateralis 
was not uncommon. In the pine-woods about Vigo and 
Redondela (all apparently planted) but little was obtained 
beyond Spondylis, Hylotrupes, Leptura stragulata, Hylastes 
ater and Lrnobius mollis. On the heath-covered moorland 
about Brafiuelas and Ucedo the fine Crytocephalus cynarx 
* On Moncayo, in 1893, a white-flowered Hrica was noticed as being 
very attractive in the same way.
