CATALOGUE OF INSECTS IN CASTLE EDEN DEAN. 39 



These may be considered among the most splendid disco- 

 veries that has been lately made ; for the first species is ex- 

 clusively known as an inhabitant of Kamstchatka, and the 

 other of Lapland. Only one of each was taken ; and as they 

 are male and female, I think it possible they may be the same 

 species, although they vary in size and colour. 



It may be as well to remind entomologists that there is 

 another species, Ela^ih. Uttoralis, Dej., which I have received 

 from Austria, which so nearly resembles Filaph. riparius, that 

 they may be easily confounded. 



Mr. Lyell also mentions in his note, that Callidium striatum * 

 has been taken, since my account of it was published, the end 

 of May and beginning of June, flying in the garden ; and 

 others in or by a saw-pit, near the House of Kinnordy, in 

 Forfarshire, Scotland. 



July, 1832.

Art. VI. — Catalogue of a few Insects, found in Castle Eden 

 Dean and its Vicinity, in the County of Durham, the be- 

 ginning of July 1831 and 1832. By George Wailes, Esq. 



[to the editor of the entomological magazine.] 



Newcastle, Jttlij, 30, 1832. 

 Sir, — I send you a catalogue of a few insects, collected in 

 that wild and enchanting spot, Castle Eden Dean, with some 

 observations on their habitats, &c. hastily thrown together, 

 which, if you deem worthy of a place in the Entomological 

 Magazine, is much at your service. I am, Sir, yours, &c. 



G. Wailes. 



Before giving the list of insects, mentioned below, it may 

 prove useful to the entomologist to premise that Castle Eden 

 Dean is the largest and most beautiful of a series of romantic 

 dells, or deans, which consist, as it were, of immense clefts or 

 chasms in that part of the secondary series of rocks, termed 

 the magnesian limestone. These deans are, for the most part, 

 narrow and confined, and so densely covered with wood as to 

 render them too close for the active pursuit of the entomologist ;
