NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 63 



Gosforth and Gibside^ Lives in a small yellow fungus which 

 grows on decaying stumps. Not rare. 



2. A. nana, Erich. ; A. nigriventris, 1. c. 



3. A. umbrina, Gyll., Erich. 1. c. 380. 



Very rare. I have only seen two local specimens. 



4. A.fuscipes, Gyll., Trans. CI. L, 70. 



My specimens of A. atra are dark varieties of this common 

 insect. 



5. A. pwilla, Payk., 1. c. II., 275. 



6. A. atricapilla, Steph., 1. c. 276. 



7. A. Berolinensis, Kz., 1. c. VI., 61. 



Equally common with the last, of which it is probably only a 

 variety. 



8. A.fuscata, Schon., 1. c. 



9. A. mesomelas, Herbst., 1. c. II., 276. 



Local. Rough herbage on the bed of Gosforth Lake. 



10. A. munda, Erich., 1. c. VI., 61. 



Very rare. Gosforth and Cullercoats. September. 



11. A. impressa, Erich., 1. c. 389. 

 Rare. Banks of river Irthing. 



12. A. nigripennis, Payk., Trans. CI. I., 90. 



13. A. apicalis, Erich., 1. c. VL, 62. 

 Common. 



14. A. analis, Erich., 1. c. 398; A. atra, Trans. CI. I., 90. 

 Also common. Mr. Hardy's series of A. atra, named for him 



by one of the leading Entomologists of that day, must be re- 

 ferred to this species. 



An examination of Mr. Selby'.s collection shows that his speci- 

 mens of A. rufieomis (Trans. CI. I., 90) do not belong to the 

 genus Atomaria. 



EPISTEMUS, Westw. 



1. E. globosus, Waltl., 1. c. II., 335. 

 Long Benton. Very rare.
