ADDITION OF SIX SPECIES (INCLUDING TWO NEW TO SCIENCE) AND 
TWO GENERA TO THE BRITISH LIST OF COLEOPTERA. 
BY D. SHARP, M.B. 
The following list of Coleoptera new to the British list were cap- 
tured at Braemar in June last by Dr. Buchanan White and myself. 
Olophrum consimile, Gyll. Distinguished from our other species 
by the prothorax being sinuate at the sides behind the middle. A sin- 
gle specimen in moss (Dr. White). 
Evprctus Wuitet, nov. spec. Niger, subnitidus, crebre fortiter 
punctatus, subtilissime pubescens, thorace breviusculo, lateribus fortiter 
angulato dilatato, geniculis tarsisque piceis. Long. 1% lin. 
An E. Giraudi var. ? 
This insect, agrees very well with Kraatz’s and Thomson’s descrip- 
tions of E. Giraudi, except as to colour; E. Giraudi being described 
as “rufo brunneus,” whilst this is intensely black, the knees and _ tarsi 
only being slightly paler. I found a single specimen under a stone on 
the summit of Ben-a-Bhuird. Of our British species, it most resembles 
Coryphium angusticolle, from which it is at once distinguished by the 
strongly angulated sides of the thorax. #. Giraudi itself appears to 
be extremely rare: Kraatz says four specimens have been taken in 
different parts of Germany, and Thomson only mentions it as having 
been found by Professor Boheman. 
PriniuM CALEDONICUM, nov. spec. Oblongum, haud nitidum, sat 
dense fortiterque punctatum, evidenter pubescens, fusco-testaceum, an- 
tennis pedibusque testacets, prothorace transverso, basin versus fortiter 
angustato. Long. $ lin. 
Slightly larger than Pteryx suturalis ; variable in colour, generally 
dirty testaceous, with the head and thorax darker than the elytra; the 
thorax is rather narrower than the elytra, it is much broader than long, 
with the sides rounded in front, and much narrowed behind, without 
channel, but sometimes with an obsolete impression on each side near 
the base; the antenne aud legs are yellow; in sculpture and pubes- 
cence very similar to P. Spencet. 
This species was found by Dr. White and myself in numbers under 
the bark of a dead Scotch fir at Braemar. I should have preferred 
Mr. Matthews undertaking its description, and have only done so my- 
self at his request: I add, by his permission, the following valuable 
extract from a letter written by him to me :—
