372 ME. T. J. BOLD ON COLEOPTEEA. 



described by Dr. Schaum as varius. Many of our small Halipii 

 are most closely related, and may ultimately have to be united, 

 but this must not be done until the intermediate steps are found. 

 Dr. Sharp retains varius as a species in his recently published 

 catalogue of British Coleoptera. 



This species has occurred to me sparingly in G-osforth Lake. 



3. Agabus Solieri, Aube ; E. C. Rye, Entom. Annual, 1868, 



p. 18. 

 Apparently very rare. A female, taken on the east end of 

 Cheviot, is the only local example known to me. 



4. Helophorus arvernicus, Muls., == H. pumilio, Wat. Cat. 

 In ponds. Wooler district. Eare. 



5. Ocalea latipennis, Sharp, Ent. Mon. Mag., VI., 280. 



A single specimen from near Wooler. It has hitherto only 

 occurred in Scotland. 



6. Homalota silvicola, Fuss. ; D. Sharp, Trans. Ent. Soc. 



London, April, 1869, p. 132. 

 Two females of this fine species were taken near Wooler in 

 August. 



7. H. crassicornis, Gyll. ; D. Sharp, 1. c. 135. 



A fine male, taken in October, is from the same locality as the 

 last. Dr. Sharp records three specimens, taken by himself in 

 Inverness-shire, as the only British examples known to him. 



8. H. pilicornis, Thorns. ; D. Sharp, 1. c. 155. 

 Two specimens from Wooler Haugh. 



9. H. debilis, Erich. ; D. Sharp, 1. c, 157. 



A specimen from Cheviot, and another from Berwickshire, are 

 referred by Dr. Sharp, rather doubtfully, to this species. 



10. H. Aubei, Bris. ; D. Sharp, 1. c. 171. 



11. H. gemina, Erich. ; D. Sharp, 1. c. 172. 



Both species taken in the Cheviot district in July, but they 

 are apparently very rare. 



12. Myllatna minuta, Grav. ; Kraatz., Ins. Deutsch, II., 369. 

 Sparingly from Cold Martin Moss, near Wooler.
