COLEOPTERA 



So far as is ascertained no one has worked up the beetles of this 

 county. The late Mr. W. G. Blatch worked more or less in the northern 

 part, especially in the Severn valley. Accounts of his discoveries were 

 published from time to time in the Entomologist' s Motithly Magazine. 

 Others must have worked in different localities if we are to judge by 

 occasional references to Worcestershire in Fowler's Cokoptera of the 

 British Islands. 



The species found here hitherto number about a thousand. The 

 following list includes the less common species only : — 



Cychrus rostratus, L. Wyre Forest, Crown Notiophilus rufipes. Curt. Kempsey Grove 



East Leistus rufescens, F. Leigh

Notiophilus substriatus, Wat. Hartlebury Clivina collaris, Herbst. Banks of Teme
