OF NORTHUMBERLAND AND DURHAM. 227 



interstice of each elytron are two or three large pores 

 which are wanting in that species. Length, 9-10 mm. 



fioS. H. rufi/nanus, Marsh, {tardus, Brit. Cat.). 



Fairly common near Winlaton. Bold records it 

 from Hetton Hall, Twizell, and Newcastle (N. H. 

 Trans., p. 11), and Canon Fowler says (Brit. Col., 

 vol. i., p. 52, H. tardus, Vax\z.,froelichi, Sturm.) it is 

 common all along the East Coast, inland as well as 

 on the shore. 



133. Pterostichtis partcmpunctatus, Germ. 



Nearly all Bold's localities for this rarity — taken 

 only in these two counties — have succumbed to the 

 progress of civilisation. Mr. Newbery tells me his 

 examples were taken on the banks of the Wear, and 

 my friend Mr. Corder has taken it not uncommonly 

 under gatherings of dead leaves in the gardens and 

 kitchen areas of Ashbrook Terrace, Sunderland— a 

 habitat totally different to the habitats mentioned by 

 Bold. 



*i79?v. Calathus inelanocephalus, L., var niibigena, Hal. 



Not uncommon on the Blanchland moors and 

 similar localities (Ento. Rec, 1904, p. 260). 



1 1 80. C. mkropterus, Duft. 



" Rare, Hedgehope and Cheviot," Mr. J. Hardy 

 (N. H. Trans., p. 8). 



Local near Corbridge (April, 1903, and April, 

 1904) and Blanchland (April, 1904). 



*i92. Anchomenus sexpjmctatus, L. 



On April 13th, 1903, I met a fellow coleopterist 

 who had just taken a strange Anchomenus from the 

 moors near Blanchland : the six " punctures " being 

 distinctive, I naturally put it down to A. sexpunctatus, 

 L., but hope shortly to make a closer acquaintance, 

 and so record it definitely (Ento. Rec, 1904, p, 260).
