38 COLEOFTERA. 



of yellow pubescence, — as he says ^^ uncle fades aliena^^ 

 suggestive of the Alpine hare. The allied S.pojmhieaj from 

 his account, is always depauperized in Lapland. 



Mr. F. Smith has added some materials to serve for a 

 more perfect edition of Mr. Wollaston's list of the Cole- 

 opfera of Lundy Island,* and has found the hitherto boreal 

 JPissodes notatus in plenty at home in fir trees at Bourne- 

 mouth. Of other captures, not specially noted in the fol- 

 lowing pages, I may record the following : ScopcBUs Erich- 

 soni, at Slapton, and the very rare Actidium coarctatuni 

 on the wing, at Teignmouth, by Mr. Wollaston ; Synchita 

 jvglandis, I believe in some numbei's, and near Cambridge, 

 by Mr. Crotch; Puophagus nasturtii in plenty, on water- 

 cress, in Cornwall and Kent by Mr. Tylden (in the latter 

 county, thanks to that gentleman, also by myself); the rare 

 little Dog'dus lutulosus in some numbers, at Southsea, by 

 Mr. Moncreaff; Trechus longicornis, Hydrojyorus celatua, 

 JPtilium concolovj Lathrohium angusticolle (several during 

 a "spate" or flood), L. pallidum and Quedius longicornis, 

 at Dumfries, by Dr. Sharp ; the female of Drilus Jiavescens, 

 at Folkestone, in July, by Mr. Purdy ; Acylophorus glahri- 

 collis,\ in some small quantity, near Richmond, Ceuthor- 



* Mr. Wollaston's second list (Zool., 1847, p. 1753), wherein 88 

 species, including Ocypus olens, are added to his former 65 (not 63), 

 appears to have escaped Mr, Smith's notice. Strangely enough, none 

 of the 7 other universally abundant insects noted by the latter gentleman 

 appear in this second list. 



f This rare species appears to be found on the Continent by wringing 

 weeds from below the surface of the water in places where it occurs. 

 I could obtain none by this method, but found the insect always running 

 and flying, like a Cicindela, on the surface of the water among weeds 

 and submerged grass, on a very hot day in INIay. It was excessively 

 active. Kraatz's description would seem to be taken from dead and 

 dried up specimens. When alive, the red belt before the apex of the 

 abdomen is extremely conspicuous, almost as much so as in Trochilium 

 myopceforme.
