58. Quedius brevicornis, Thoms. Sk. Col. ii. 175. 
Distinguished from varieties of Q. fulgidus with red elytra by

under the bark and at the sap of trees: Q. fulgidus is found in 
cellars and outhouses. Dr. Power has long recognized this insect 
as specifically distinct from fulgidus. I cannot make out the 
frontal setae, which Thomson considers diagnostic of this species,
