226 SOME ADDITIONS, ETC., TO THE COLEOPTERA 



worked sub-districts), as a result of spare time collecting during 

 the last three years, has given us two indigenous species new to 

 the British Catalogue {Lathridms bergrot/u a-nd. Triplax bicolor, 

 the latter species described in these Transactions), and twenty 

 or more additions to our counties' list. Surely there is yet a 

 lot of work to do in connection with our local beetles, and 

 that without going into the more interesting questions of 

 life-histories, variation, etc. 



Several introduced species — mostly taken by Mr, Gardner — 

 with records, etc., of not a few species new to the British list of 

 imported Coleoptera, are held over for a future paper. 



Many of these notes have already appeared in either the 

 " Entomologist's Monthly Magazine " or the " Entomologist's 

 Record and Journal of Variation." 



In concluding this rambling introduction I must thank all 

 those entomologists and friends who have, in many ways, so 

 kindly helped me.

*io6. Harpalus quadripunctatus, Dj. 



This species is recorded from Newcastle by Canon 

 Fowler (Brit. Col., vol. i., p. 52), from whom I quote : — 



" A very local northern species, chiefly confined to 

 the Highlands of Scotland, Braemar, Aviemore, &c., 

 Newcastle ; recorded by Mr. W. G. Blatch from 

 Cheddar; it has also occurred in Ireland." 



Qiiadripuiictatus very much resembles H. latus of 

 Linnasus, but is distinguished by being slightly larger 

 and more parallel with a slight steel-blue reflection ; 

 the thorax is not furnished with the testaceus edge so 

 evident in latns, whilst on the apical half of the third
