HEY: LIST OF YORKSHIRE COLEOPTERA. 5 1 



2i), can scarcely be accepted. Possibly they belong to G. 

 elongatus x\ube. There is a good deal of confusion in this 

 genus. 

 Orectochilus villosus Miill. Local. 



2. N.E.— Scarborough {R.L.). 



3. N.W.— Studley {E.A. IF.). 



5. S.W.— Hebden Bridge, 1831 (S. Gibson). 



HYDROPHILIDAi. 



HYDROPHILINA. 



Hydrocharis caraboides L. This insect has only been 

 taken in one locality in Yorkshire, and there is no record 

 of its capture there for more than half a century. 



4. Central. — Askham Bog, 1830 {^A. JV/ig/if, Loitdo7t's 

 Mag. for 1831, iv, 165). A pair were also taken there by 

 Robt. Cook of York, about the same time. 



Note.— There is a note in the Naturalist for August, 

 1872, which describes Hydrophihis piceus as a Yorkshire 

 insect. I have, however, come to the conclusion that it is 

 safest not to include that insect in this list, as it is not 

 known by whom it was named, and as the locality given 

 (Huddersfield) is such an improbable one for a beetle with 

 fen proclivities and a South-Eastern distribution. Mr. 

 Hobkirk himself advises this course. 



HYDROBIINA. 



Hydrobius fuscipes L. One of the commonest of our water 

 beetles, found in ponds and puddles everywhere. 



1. S.E.— Bridlington {W.C.H.) ; Brough {E.B. W.). 



2. N.E. — Thornton-le-dalc, Scarborough {IV.C.II.); 

 Whitby {E.B. IV.). 



4. Central. — York district, everywhere ( IV.C./I.). 



5. S.W.— Wakefield district (^.Z?./K); Hebden Bridge 

 {S. Gibson). 



Var. picicornis Sharp. 



4. Central. — Askham Bog ( ff^ W. Fowler).
