234 COLEOPTERA OF THE SoLWAY DISTRICT. 



A List of the Coleoptera of the Solway District. 



Part II. 

 By Mr Bertram M' Go wan. 



II. To THE END OF THE HyDROPHILIDAE. 



The next sub-division of the Coleoptera to be dealt with 

 is the Hydradephaga, which are the aquatic representatives 

 of the division of carnivorous beetles known as Adephaga. 

 They are found everywhere in lochs, ponds, streams, etc. 

 These, along with the next division, the Philhydrida, which 

 are herbivorous and for the most part aquatic or semi- 

 aquatic, have been very well worked up in this district by Mr 

 Frank Balfour Browne, one of the recognised authorities on 

 the group, and he has very kindly looked over the present 

 list and brought it up to date. As I mentioned before, a very 

 complete list for the district was published by him in the 

 "*Annals of Scottish Natural History," April-October, 1909. 

 As was done before, the initial letters of the counties (Dum- 

 fries, Kirkcudbright, Wigtown) are given to show in which 

 counties each species has so far been found to occur. 



Division Adephaga (Sub-Division Hydradephaga). 

 Family Haliplid^. 



Brychius elevatiis, Panz. not uncommon in running water, 

 rivers Annan, Nith, and Dee. D. K. 



Halipliis obliquus, F. recorded by Lennon from Glenmill 

 Burn, but probably this record refers to the next species 

 as it may have been washed down by the floods from 

 Lochrutton. K. 



H. con-finis, Steph. fairly common in Lochrutton. K. 



H. jiavicollis, Sturm, common in most of our rivers 

 and lochs. D. K. 



H. fulvus, F. also common and found in similar situations as 

 the preceding. K. W. 



H, ruficollis, De G. common all over the district. D. K, W,
