5o8 ON SOME NEW AND RAEE BRITISH COLLEMBOLA 



Belgium and Norway; my identification of the British speci- 

 mens having been confirmed by Mr. ColUnge. It was only 

 described early this year, 



Sminthurinus quadrilineatus (Tullb.), var. ochropics 



(Renter). 



Amongst dead leaves, Gibside. This is the only English 

 record. 



Sub-Family SMINTHURIN.^ Burner 



Gknus BOURLETIELLA (Banks) 



Bourletielia cincta (Tullb.) 



Smiuthurvs cincius TuUberg, Ofvers. af Kongi. Vetenskaps- 

 Akad. Forhandl., xxviii., pp. 145, 187. 



On June 26th, 1907, I obtained this very distinct little 

 creature in large numbers by beating SpircBa and Mentha in a 

 marshy wood near Winlaton Mill, and a few days later found 

 it at Gibside, where it also appeared to be locally common. 

 Since then I have found a single specimen near the Greta 

 Falls, Largs, and recently whilst I was examining some 

 E7iphorbia which was kindly sent me by Miss Winifred Martin 

 from Newton Abbot, Devonshire, several of this species 

 jumped out. 



British Distribution. — Derwent Valley, county Durham; 

 Newton Abbot, Devonshire ; near Largs, Scotland. 



Bourletielia hortensis (Fitch) (=/;7////^^rt: Tullb.) 



A single specimen from Gibside, June, 1907, is the only 

 English example known. 



Bourletielia pallipes (Lubb.) 



Several specimens occurred by beating Spircea and Mentha 

 in a marshy wood near Winlaton Mill, June, 1907, and later 

 on I found it more or less commonly by beating the fiowers of 

 Potentilla tornientilla in the same locality. Axelson treats 

 pallipes as a variety of bicincta (Koch, Reut.).
