56 COLEOPTERA. 



it was in none of them but that of Mr. Wollaston), — many 

 Blemus aj'eolatus, Plimdon concinnumy and oilier good 

 things, including Cryptoceplwlus sex-punctatus and Ceu- 

 thorhynclddius Dansoniy Btis., both unexpected boreal 

 visitors. Dr. Sharp also informs me that he has undoubted 

 larvae of Carida jiexaom^ which he hopes to rear. 



Mr. Lennon has recorded the occurrence of the usually 

 deemed southerner, Lebla crux-minor^ in the same locality ; 

 and, with Messrs. Sharp and M'Nab, has also taken Omosita 

 depreasa (found near Burton-on-Trent by Mi'. Harris), 

 Silpha dispar^ and Erirhinus cethiops at Dumfries. This 

 latter insect will probably soon be seen commonly in collec- 

 tions ; as, in addition to the above locality, Mi-. Crotch took 

 several specimens last year at Pitlochrie, and I found it 

 amon": some beetles sent to me for names from Paislev bv 

 Mr. Morris Young. 



Mr. Hislop chronicles the capture in Morayshire of 

 Thalycra, Mdolontha hippocastam, Anohmni nigrinumj 

 Blaps mortisaga and Leistus montanus. 



Coming further south, my friend Mr. T. J. Bold has found 

 the true Sitones lin'eellus (also taken by Mr. Hislop) and 

 S. rneUloti in consideiable numbers near Newcastle; and 

 Mr. Roberts lecords Mhcodera in profusion at Llangollen, 

 in June. 



From the Midland counties, we read of some fresh spe- 

 cimens of Ojcytliyrea, found by Mr. J. Hardy crawling in 

 a garden at one of the Manchester suburbs ; and several of 

 Ahdera A-fasciata taken by Mr. Edleston near Bowdon. 

 Conopalpus Vigorsii has occurred in profusion at Sherwood 

 to Charles Turner; and MacronycJius and Pofaminus, 

 judging from the specimens that have come under my obser- 

 vation, must have been found in tolerable plenty near Bur- 

 ton-on-Trent.
