240 SOME ADDITIONS, ETC., TO THE COLEOPTERA 



of Equiseti (a local species) at the same locality Prof. 

 Beare met with another example (October ist, 1904), 

 evidently from some brushwood lying amongst the 

 Eqiiiseti. Winlaton, April ist, 1905. 



2368. Stenostola ferrea, Schr. 



I think, if not our rarest, one of our rarest British 

 longicorns. In June and July of 1902 I took and 

 saw several examples on long grass bordering the 

 river between Winlaton Mill and Rowlands Gill 

 (Ento. Mo. Mag., vol. xl., p. 86, ^^ Stenostola ferrea, 

 Schrank, and other longicorns in the Derwent 

 Valley"), Avhilst this year (1904) I met with it 

 again at Gibside, in two different localities, always 

 on' plants above or near water. 



"Near Gibside," Mr. J. Hardy (N. H. Trans., 

 p. 99). 



I believe this is the only British locality where 

 Stenostola ferrea can now be taken with any 

 certainty. 



Rhagium inquisitor, F., R. bifasciatum, F., 

 Strangalia armata, Hbst., S. ??ielanura, L., Gram- 

 moptera tabacicolor, De G., and G. ruficornis, F., 

 are other longicorns which have lately occurred in 

 the Derwent Valley. 



*2375. Bruchus pisi, L. 



Introduced. My brother found a living specimen 

 in a dried pea which he picked up in the Durham 

 College of Science, Newcastle, March 3rd, 1904. 



2387. DoJiacia versicolora, Brahm. {bidens, 01.) 

 Gibside, September.
