species is certainly not indigenous in Great Britain. C. sycoplianta is

[iV. quaclripunctatus^ Dej. — Doubtful. It is included by Haliday 

 in his Belfast list, but omitted from his MS. list of Irish beetles. 

 The record, Armagh ('92 J. 4), is to be deleted. Yarieties of N.

 the present species.]

Leistus spinibarbis, F.
