COLEOPTERA.—Dr. W. J. Fordham writes:—The work 
accomplished by the three coleopterists present, with the aid 
of one or two other members, was very satisfactory. The total 
(excluding a few species still unidentified) reached 148 species, 
including 13 species new to V.C. 64 and one species new to 
Yorkshire. The members of the Coleoptera Committee 
present were Dr. Corbett, Mr. T. Stainforth and the writer. 
The most noticeable feature was the abundance of Teé/e- 
phoride; lividus L. and pellucidus F. being in swarms, and 
among the latter were two specimens of Podabrus alpinus Pk., 
exactly similar in colouring and not distinguished from it in 
the field, or more specimens might have been taken. Podabrus 
alpinus is only previously known from Wheatley Wood and 
North Yorkshire. One specimen of Rhagonycha testacea L. 
occurred among the commoner limbata Th. and pallida F. It 
is a very local insect in Yorkshire. Malachius bipustulatus L. 
was common. Two species of Scymnus viz., nigrinus Kug. and 
capitatus F. were taken singly, both having previously only 
one record each (in North Yorks.) An entirely black specimen 
of Micropeplus staphylinoides Marsh occurred in the sweep net, 
and one example of Gymmnetron beccabunge L. (of the var. 
nigrum Hardy), which latter insect is new to Yorkshire. A look 
out was kept for Strangalia armata Hbst. which Mr. Roebuck 
had found to be abundant on umbellifers on a previous visit, 
but none was seen. The only Longicornes taken were Clytus 
arietis L. (two specimens) and Gvammoptera ruficornis F, 
(several, including an extremely small form, and one much 
above the average size). Mr. B. Morley handed in a specimen 
of Attelabus curculionoides L. of which insect he saw several 
on young oaks. Bembidium rufescens Guer., Bradycellus 
placidus Gyll. and Tvrechus secalis Pk., were taken by Mr. 
Falconer when searching for Spiders in the marshy field near 
the wood. A small specimen of Brachytarsus varius F. (rare 
and only previously taken near Doncaster), was picked out of 
Mr. Porritt’s umbrella, probably beaten from pine, where the 
larva feeds on a Lecanium. 
Among Mr. Stainforth’s captures were four specimens of 
Melandrya caraboides L. from under the bark of an old willow 
tree. This local and handsome blue black insect has been 
recosded for seipyaby the Rev. C.D. Ash; *Mr_ Stamiorth 
notes that he captured large numbers of Anchomenus oblongus 
Stn., a local species, which however, often turns up in numbers
