Johnson and Halbert — A List of the Beetles of Ireland. 729 



There are Irish specimens of this species'in the Haliday and Purlong 

 collections, probably from one of these localities. But it is evidently 

 much rarer than the preceding species.

 JSTot common. 



A. subterraneus, L.

Down (near Belfast, '85 H.). 



The Belfast specimens cannot be traced. It is curious that this is 

 one of the species after which Haliday has omitted the mark © (mean- 

 ing " certainly Irish ") in his MS. list of Irish insects, but this may 

 be due to an oversight.
