MISCODERA ARCTICA AND 
PTEROSTICHUS A:THIOPS IN LANCASHIRE.

I am informed by Dr. J. W. Ellis that tscodera arctica and 
Pterostichus ethiops have not been hitherto recorded for Lancashire. 
I found a single specimen of the former in June 1884, on Long- 
ridge Fell, which is situated about half-way between Whitewell and 
Ribchester. The insect was verified at the Natural History Museum, 
outh Kensington. In 1889 three other specimens were found by 
me near the same spot. 
As regards the mountainous species Prerostichus ethiops, 1 found 
three specimens in 1890 in the vicinity of Stonyhurst College, which 
is about two miles distant from Longridge Fell (1,149 ft.) and ten 
miles from Pendle Hill (1,831 ft.). Dr. J.W. Ellis, who kindly examined 
one of the insects in question, said there could be no doubt as to its 
being P. ethiops.
