Some notes on Suffolk CoJeoptera. — The publication by Mr, Claude Morley 

 in 1915 of his first supplement to *' The Coleoptera of Suffolk " caused me to 

 look up my notes of such captures as I have made in the County at various 

 times. I had uo opportunity of embodying' them in the supplement, as I was 

 not aware of Mr. Morley's intention until immediately before publication. The 

 foUowiii^i: belated records may be of some little interest if read in conjunction 

 with the original list and supplement. The species marked with a star (*) are 

 additions to the County list. 



Amara anthobia Villa: the specimens standing in my collection above 

 the label A. Ja7niliaris Dufts, are referable to the first-named insect ; 

 they were taken in the vicinity of Oulton Broad in 1898 ; I also met with 

 it at Gorton in 1904. Benibidium nonnamiuni Dej. is apparently not a 

 common Suffolk species, but in June 1909 it was abundant on tlie muddy 

 banks of Lake Lothing. Dromius siyma Rossi : since my original capture in 

 1898 I have taken over sixty specimens of this species j it is extremely local, 

 and may be found by pressing down the dead sedge at the edge of a ditch 

 jind then removing the pressure, when the beetles run swiftly up the stems. 

 Pi'lohius tardus Herbst is not uncommon in a roadside pond at Somerleyton. 

 Noterus clavicornis De G. is a very common species in the ditches below 

 Oidton Church, and in my experience is generally common throughout the 

 Broad districts. Hydroporus umhrosus Gyll an^ H. angustatus '^twvm.: both 

 occur at Oulton Broad. Hydrophilus piceus L. appears to be very scarce in 

 Suffolk, judging by the lack of records, but in April 1903 1 found it in pro- 

 lusion in one particular ditch at Barnby Broad. Laccobius minutus L. : I 

 captured a single specimen of this insect at Oulton Broad on August Slst? 

 1905, thus confirming Stephens's record; the species is omitted from 

 Mr. Morley's original list though he refers in a footnote to the above record. 

 Cercyon littoralis GylL, abundant on the banks of Lake Lothing. C. obsoletus 

 Gyll., two specimens at Oulton Broad in February 1899. C. terminatus 

 Marsh., Oulton Broad, June 1909, with C, niyriceps Marsh. 



Aleochara algarum Fauv,, common on the banks of Lake Lothing. 

 Thamiaraea cifinamomea Grav., not uncommon in Cossus borings in the 

 Lowestoft district and usually accompanied by Atheta euryptera Steph.^ 

 A. vestita Grav., and A. halobrectha Sharp, abundant under debris on the 

 banks of Lake Lothing. *A. monticola Thoms. at Oulton Broad, August 

 1U05. *A. paradoxul\e\/va. a mole's nest at Barnby Broad in March 1907» 

 *A. exilis Er., Oulton Broad, December 1907. *A. subsinuata Er., Cortun, 

 June 1907. Myrmecopora uvida Er., in large numbers under pieces of board 

 and an old sack on the edge of Lake Lothing. Autalia rivularis Grav., not
