COLEOPTERA. 99 
‘RF. Bond, Esq., near Falmouth, a number of specimens near 
Plymouth,” the other ‘“‘ Cornwall, F. Bond, Esq., 1870.” <A good 
many examples of this locust were taken in Britain in 1869, but I do 
not think any have been recorded for the following year. Tettiv 
subulatus, L.—‘‘ Cambridge.’’ Some are labelled ‘“ bipunctatus.” T. 
bipunctatus, L.—About 80 specimens without labels. 
LocustopEa.—Leptophyes punctatissima, Bose.—A number of 
unlabelled specimens. One female “ caught October 1st, Coombe 
1806, clypeata, Pz., Mr. Neale.”’ One 3, two 2, ‘‘ Miss Badcock, on a 
pear tree,” another “ H’phippigera virescens, Steph., Il1., vi., 16, viil., 83.” 
Ephippigera virescens, Steph., is known to be a synonym for 
punctatissima, but ‘‘ clypeata, Panz.,” is usually regarded as a synonym 
of Thamnotrizon cinereus, L. AMeconema variun, Fabr.—One male 
‘Sept. 16th, 1833, Foxley Wood, Norfolk,” another ‘“‘ Taken in second 
week in November, ’66, Mr. Briggs, St. John’s Coll.” This species 
is one of our latest Orthoptera, and may be taken well into the winter. 
One female, ‘‘ Miss Badcock, on a pear tree.” Xiphidiwn dorsale, Latr. 
—One male labelled “ Acrida fusca,” anda male ‘ Norfolk, August 
Ist, A. fusca, Pz.,” also four §, seven ? and two nymphs, all labelled 
* fuscum.”’ Stephens obviously confused X. dorsale with X. fuscum,,a 
very distinct species, which is far more common and widely distributed 
on the continent than X. dorsale. Locusta viridissima, L.—One male 
‘« Parks, Oxford, 1848 ;” several unlabelled specimens. Thamnotrizon 
cinereus, i.mOne male ‘“ D. apterus,” one @ ‘‘near Croydon,” one @ 
‘““ ephippiger”’ and four g and four ¢ unlabelled. Platycleis grisea, 
Fabr.—Several specimens without labels, one nymph queried “ viridis- 
sima, ex Museo D. Hill.” P. brachyptera, L.—One ¢ labelled 
‘“ brachyptera’’ and one ‘‘ kirbii”’ also a male labelled “ clypeatus’’ and 
several nymphs ‘“‘kirbii.””  Decticus verrucivorus, L.—A male “ bingleti, 
Rey. D. Bingley,” probably one of Curtis’ types, but of the green form, 
also one female ‘‘ verrucivorus.’ 
GrytLopEa.—Nemobius sylvestris, Fabr.—Several specimens of both 
sexes, unlabelled. Gryllus campestris, L.—One male ‘“‘ Weaver, N. F.”’ 
and several specimens without labels, including one of the very rare 
variety with fully developed wings, projecting well beyond the elytra. 
[There is also a specimen with wings projecting far beyond the apex 
of the abdomen, which I refer with some doubt to G. bimaculatus, de 
Geer, a meridional species. It may be an extreme form of G. campes- 
tris, or may have been accidentally introduced.] G. domesticus, 
several examples, unlabelled. Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa, L.—Five 3, 
four ?, unlabelled. 
GYOLEOPTERA. 
CoLEorTERA IN CuMBERLAND IN 1899.—The species enumerated 
below were taken during the past season, and, without exception, are 
additions to the lists published by us in the nt. Record, vol. x., p. 126, 
and vol. xi., p. 103. Notiophilus palustris, locally common under 
stones. Dyschirius nitidus, sparingly in burrows of Bledius spectabilis, 
at the Estuary of the Eden. Dradycellus placidus, rather abundant, 
but local, at roots of grass, and in moss. Dichirotrichus pubescens, on 
the beach, at Silloth, rare. Pterostichus aethiops, under stones in the 
Pennines, scarce. Amara consularis, one specimen. A. similata, a few 
in flood refuse. A. acuminata, one on a pathway. Calathus fuscus,
