2o6 Guide to Belfast. 



The British Hst of Coleoptera contains some 3,300 species. 

 In round numbers, the Irish list extends to 1,600 species, or 

 rather less than half of the total of the British list; of these, 

 about 750 species have been met with in Antrim and Down. 

 The cause of the small numbers in the Irish list and in that 

 for these two counties is the same ; viz., want of workers. 



Carabus glabratus, Payk. — Near Belfast, Slieve 

 Donard. 



C. violaceus, L. — Rathlin Island. 



C. clathratus, Z. — Rathlin Island, Clough and Cran- 

 more, Co. Antrim ; Birkie Bog, Co. Down. 



C. nitens, L. — Glenarm, Birkie Bog.^ 



Pelophila borealis, Payk. — Shores of Lough Neagh 

 at Shane's Castle, Toome, and on Ram's Island. It should 

 be looked for under stones on firm mud. 



Blethisa multipunctata, L. — Clough; near Belfast; 

 the latter locality probably refers to the shore of Lough 

 Neagh. 



Clivina collaris, Herbst. — Ballycastle, Co. Antrim. 



Dyschirius obscurus, Gyll. — Taken by Haliday on 

 the shore of Lough Neagh, probably at Shane's Castle. It 

 burrows in sand like others of the genus, and has been found 

 in company with Bledius subterranens at Maghery and Ard- 

 more on the Armagh side of the lake. There is no other 

 known locality for it in the British Isles.

 between Comber and Strangford Lough, about a quarter of 

 a mile from latter.
