80 STAPHYLINID^. 



alutaceous, with three short projecting bristles on each side (in fresh 

 specimens) ; hind body linear, parallel, very closely punctured at the 

 base, less closely at apex, shiny ; apez of sixth segment with fine black 

 setse. L. 1§ mm. 



Great Salkeld, Cumberland (Britten) : taken very sparingly, both in 

 spring and autumn, under stones on a gravel bed, at the side of a 

 stream . 



This species may be known from our other British species by the 

 colour and the structure of the antennse ; it seems to be very distinct, 

 and superficially is quite unlike either of our other species. 



The list of our species as at present constituted appears to be as 

 follows : 



T. angustlceps, Fauv. 



major Fauv., nee Kraatz. 

 T. linearis, Ki-aatz. 



? var. hrunneijjennis, Kraatz. 

 T. hicolor, Joy. 

 T. jjallichis, Newbery. 

 T. longipennis, Heei'. 

 T. hrevipennis, Kies. 



T. angusticeps, Fauv. [major Fauv., nee Kraatz) is especially recorded 

 from England by Ganglbauer ; T. hrunneijjennis, Kraatz, which is in- 

 cluded in our catalogues, is evidently regarded as doubtful by Continental 

 authorities, and must at most be regarded as a variety of T. linearis. 



LESTEVA, Latreille. 

 I., fontinalis, Kies. (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1850, 222). Ganglbauer, 

 Die Kafer. Mitteleurop., ii. 713. Black, rather strongly shining, 

 moderately thickly pubescent, with the legs and antennje brownish - 

 red ; as in the other species of Lesteva examples occur that are entirely 

 reddish or reddish -brown, the colour being not fully developed, although 

 they appear to be mature ; head finely and thickly punctured, with two 

 broad fi-ontal furrows which are deepened in front ; thorax longer and 

 more convex than in L. p)uhescens, to which species it is closely allied, 

 and a little less strongly rounded and widened at the sides before the 

 middle, shining ; the punctuation is fine and moderately dense, but 

 much less dense than in the last-named species. Elytra longer and 

 more convex than in L. pubescens, finely and thickly punctured and 

 more strongly than the thorax ; in the male (according to Ganglbauer) 

 straight behind, in the female somewhat obliquely truncate at the 

 suture; hind body extremely closely punctured. The first joint of the 

 posterior tarsi is a little longer than the two following united ; in 

 L. puhescen:: it is about equal to the three following united. L. 4 mm. 

 Amongst wet moss on the face of the cliffs at Shaldon, Devon ; three 

 specimens taken by Mr. P. de la Garde (Feb. 1908, and March I'JIO), 

 in company with L. jy^'hescens and L. punctata.
