been described as distinct by various authors : one of these is the 

 Z. maura of Erichson, whicli is a black, rather i^hiny insect with thick, 

 greyish pubescence : tlie legs are either black or rnfo-piceous. 



Mr. Donisthorpe records the variety from the Isle of Eigg, Scotland. 

 (Ent. Kecord. xxiv. VM'!, 13). 



Lesteva luctuosa, Eauvel. Faune Gallo-Rhenane iii. 103. 

 This species appears to be most closely related to L. pandellei, Fauv., 

 an insect which may veiy likely be found in Britain, but is more 

 elongate ; both the species have the head furnished with two deep 

 impressions : from L. longehjtrata it may be separated by its less 

 parallel form and closer punctuation, and, as a rule, by its dark colour : 

 the antennpe towards the apex, the last joint of the palpi and the legs 

 are ferruginous ; the base of the palpi and the tarsi are yellow. Super- 

 ficially it is like L.fontinalis, but differs in the colour of the legs (the 

 contrast between the yellow tarsi and red apex of the tibife and the 

 dark legs being most striking) : the elytra, moreover, are longer and the 

 punctuation of the thorax and elytra is stronger and moie regular. 

 The thorax is a little longer and more contracted at the base, and the 

 eyes are larger, with coarser facets. 



Length, 4 — 4^ mm. 



One specimen taken by Mr. Donisthorpe on the Isle of Eigg, Scot- 

 land, in moss in a waterfall on the high ground near Beinn Teighe on 

 September 17, 1911, and recorded by him as new to Britain (Ent. 

 Record, xxiii. 1911, 301). M. Fauvel speaks of the species as found 

 very rarely under refuse and stones, half submerged on the borders of 

 torrents in the mountains. 



Planeustomus (Compsochilus) flavicollis, Fauvel. Faune 

 ■Gallo-Rhenane iii. 129. Closely allied to I\ j)alpalis, Er, but smaller, 

 more slender and more depressed ; the eyes aie much smaller and the 

 antennte ai'e shorter, with the joints more strongly transverse ; the 

 thorax in the centre with two more or less obsolete rows of somewhat 

 widely separated punctures : elytra shorter than in P. jjcdpalis, about as 

 long as the thorax, with traces of punctured stria? at the base, and with 

 smaller scattered punctures behind: abdomen more widened behind. 

 Front part yellow, elytra and the antennse, except the first two joints, 

 ferruginous, hind body brown. 



Length, 2 mm. 



One specimen found by Dr. Sharp in flood rubbish at Brockenhuist. 

 New Forest, June, 1912. (Ent. Mo. Mag. xlviii. (2nd Ser. xxiii.) 

 1912, 162). 



This is one of the most interesting of the recent additions to the 

 Bi'itish list of Coleoptera.
