ater, Phytecia virescens, a Coptocephala, a fine large 
Bruchus (longicornis), Troglops silo, Colotes, etc., oc-

bushes; Anthicws corsicus, swarming on a variety of 
bushes and trees on the slopes at the back of the town ; 
Pachypus cornutus (¢), on the wing in the town towards 
evening; Bembidiwm kiistert rarely, and Cicindela 
littoralis commonly, at Campoloro, on the sand at the 
mouth of the Gravone, etc. 
At Corte, at an elevation of about 1,500 feet, some 
interesting small species were to be found on the banks 
of the Tavignano, as Lionychus sturmi, Tachys apristoides, 
Perileptus, the very minute Cryptohypnus meridionalis, 
Anthicus longicollis, two small blue Philonthi, Lathro- 
bium labile, Scopxus, Medon, etc. In the mountain 
ravines, Sisyphus, Ateuchus, Akis punctata, etc., were 
common about stercore on the roads ; and at a trickling 
mossy waterfall two Steni (levigatus and strigosus) 
occurred sparingly. In the meadows and about the 
riverside near the town a good many species already 
met with at Bocognano were to be had by working, 
with the addition of Zonitis mutica and Larinus latus 
on thistle-heads, Malachius rufus on Umbelliferous 
flowers, etc.
