COLEOPTERA. 81 



6. Zeucophera subspinosa, Fab. Rare. Taken by Mr. 



Dalton Serrel at Stourton Caundle. 



7. Cryptocephalus aureolus, Suff. Rare. Taken by 



myself at the Caundle Holts, June 23rd, 1866. 



8. Haltica holsatica, Linn. Rare. Taken by my father 



and T. V. Wollaston, Esq., at Cosmore Quag. 



9. Aromia moschata, Linn. Very rare. A couple of 



specimens were taken by H. Wood, Esq., at 

 Holwell, September 1st, 1877. 



As Coleoptera was my father's least favourite order 

 of insects, it cannot be surprising that ninety species 

 have been added to the list by T. Vernon Wollaston, 

 Esq., and myself, notably in the tribes Necrophaga 

 and Brachelytra. In the genus Cassida we possess 

 nine of the twelve British species. 



Geodephaga. 



1. Cicindela campestris, Linn. Rare ; and has only 

 been taken at irregular intervals. 



1. Notiophilus aquaticus, Linn. Common. 



2. N. biguttatus, Fab. Common. 



1. Elaphus riparius, Linn. Common. 



1. Cychrus rostratus, Linn. Very rare. A single spe- 

 cimen was taken by R. Weaver on the gate of 

 Birch Copse, May 7th, 1821. One was also taken 

 by myself in Wootton Wood, June 17th, 1873. 



1. Carabus violaceus, Linn. Not common. It makes 

 a peculiar squeaking noise.
