38 July, 
smaller than pwmilus, which it resembles in colour, but from which the characters 
in the table will separate it. The author queries this species as probably identical 
with Fairmatrei, Pandellé, but is not able to reconcile with it that author’s descrip- 
tion of the punctuation of the abdomen (punctis densis evidentioribus), nor of the 
abdominal eccentricities of the male (cristulis sulco separatis). 
O. affinis (p. 420) is described as like hamatus, but with the legs, and especially 
the tibiz, darker; and the denticle on the sixth abdominal segment in the g 
beneath smaller, with the bent part more sharply deflexed. The seventh segment 
has also in the middle two longish tubercles slightly directed inwards obliquely, and 
is ciliated with golden-yellow hairs at the apex, somewhat concealed by the den- 
ticle of the sixth segment: its posterior margin is also rather triangularly emargi- 
nate in the middle. 
O, tetratoma (p. 421) is more attenuated in front and behind than any of its 
allies. Its abdomen is more thickly and strongly punctured on the upper side than 
in O. depressus: its sixth segment in the J beneath having the apex slightly emar- 
ginate, with a small granulation on each side, between the middle and side margin ; 
and its seventh segment in the same sex being produced longly and sharply at the 
apex.—E. C. Ryr, 10, Lower Park Fields, Putney, S.W., June, 1871. 
Captures of Coleoptera at Studley, near Ripon.—I have recently taken the 
following species at Studley. By sweeping, chiefly under some fir-trees : Aleochara 
ruficornis, two or three; Haploglossa pulla, Homalota hepatica, two; H. elegan- 
tula, Brisout (only recorded as British, hitherto, from Monk’s Wood, taken by Mr. 
Crotch) ; Atomaria diluta, one (my friend, Mr. T. S. Mason, also found a specimen 
of this insect in moss, near the same place) ; several Rhinomacer attelaboides, of a 
yellowish tone, unlike the Rannoch greenish specimens ; Cryphalus abietis ; one of 
the narrow, bright, and coarsely punctured Haplocnemus nigricornis ; Limonius 
cylindricus, Meligethes symphyti (there were no blue-bells near), and both sexes of 
Colon dentipes. 
In moss, by the side of a little hill-side stream, Mniophila muscorwm was 
abundant, together with a few Quedius wmbrinus ; here I also took another Aleo- 
chara ruficornis, Bolitobius cingulatus, and Badister hwmeralis. 
Uuder bark of a felled elm, Ips quadriguttata was abundant, with a few Aga- 
thidiwm nigripenne. 
In the wet: shingle by the side of the Skell, the rare and curious little Trichop- 
terygian, Actidiwm concolor (Sharp), and Thinobius longipennis were not uncommon, 
together with three or four of the pale form of Homalota ewilis, simulating H. 
pallens, and Philonthus rubripennis—Epwarp A. WatTrRHOUSE, Fountain’s Hall, 
Ripon, June 14th, 1871. 
Capture of Odonteus mobilicornis at Cirencester.—On the evening of the 24th 
inst., a fine male of this rare Lamellicorn flew into the college here. He now stops 
a gap in my collection——W. R. McNas, Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, 
26th May, 1871.

flies captured by me last year in Switzerland. (See EH. M. M., vol vii, p. 258.)
