Entomological Excursion to Spain. 43 



sylvatica, two species of Borcadion (one of them worn 

 and nearly over), Platycerus spinifcr (one specimen, 

 probably knocked off the Genista), and others. In 

 dung, various Apliodii were to be found, as A. obscurus, 



A. scrutator, A. bonvouloiri, and others, also Ammoscius 

 frigidus, Geotrupes pyrenieus, Emus hirtus, and Btaphylinus 

 pubescens. Boggy places on the heath produced Elaphrus 

 uliginosus, Anchomenus sexpunctcdus, Garabus arvensis ?, etc. 

 On the Pass, two species of Rliizotrogus, B. felicitamts and 



B. fuscus, were occasionally seen in abundance on the wing 

 in the forenoon, disappearing after midday. A descent 

 into the valley on the northern side resulted in the capture 

 of Pcrileptus arcolatus, on the banks of the river, Aromia 

 moschata, var. thoracica, Lcptura fontcnayi, Strangalia 

 attenuata, etc. As usual, in all these Spanish mountains, 

 a Henicopus (H. heydeni) abounded, the males clinging 

 tightly to the grass stems and sometimes accompanied by 

 individuals of the opposite sex.
