228 SOME ADDITIONS, ETC., TO THE COLEOPTEEA 



■j'234. Bemhidhim nigricorne, Gyll. 

 241. B. stomoides, Dj. 



Bembidiiun stoftioides, Dj., and B. nigrkorJie, Gyll., 

 in the Derwent Valley : — 



This spring I took the above species in our 

 district : B. stomoides, Dj. (April 12th), at Lock- 

 haugh, near Rowlands Gill, and B. nigricorne, Gyll. 

 (April 4th), from the Blanchland moors. 



I quote the following from Canon Fowler's work 

 (Brit. Col., vol. i., pp. no and 112) : — 



" B. nigricorne, Gyll. : Sandy heaths, at roots of 

 plants, etc., a rare species ; it was first taken by Mr. 

 G. Wailes in the Newcastle district . . . until 

 discovered in England it was only known to inhabit 

 high European latitudes. 



"^. stomoides, Dj. : Rare ; first taken by Mr. Bold 

 in Cumberland, and afterwards in other localities in 

 the extreme north of England." 



Of B. stomoides, Mr. Bold says (Nat. Hist. Trans, 

 of Northumberland and Durham, vol. iv., p. 14, 

 187 1) : — " Banks of streams, but very rarely," and of 

 B. nigricorne : " This rare boreal insect was taken in 

 our district by George Wailes, Esq. One of the 

 original specimens, by the kindness of G. R. Water- 

 house, Esq., now ornaments my collection." 



The following Bembidia amongst others also 

 occurred at the same localities this spring, for the 

 most part commonly : — B. rufescens, Gu^r., B. tibiale, 

 Duft., B. atrocceruleum, Steph., B. decorum, Pz,, B. 

 concinnuni, Steph., B. prasinium, Duft., and B. 

 punctulattim, Drap. I am indebted to Mr. Tomlin 

 for kindly looking over these insects, and to Prof. 

 T. Hudson Beare for confirming the determination 

 oi B. nigricorne (Ento. Mo. Mag., 1904, p. 259).
