С. groenlandicus Aube, which has the sculpture of the females 

 elytra finer. This form is also known from Iceland and is pro- 

 bably also found in northern Scandinavia. The type form is 

 found in Sweeden, Lapland, Finland, Siberia and North America. 



Staphylinidæ. 



1. Homalota sp. 



Aurivillius (10. 1140) mentioned a little species of Athela 

 {Homalota) found on Pendulum Ö 6. 7. 99. He believes it to 

 be the same species as Lundbeck (7. p. 204 called H.islan- 

 dica Kraatz. 



Geographical distribution: It is very possible that 

 H. islandica occurs on the East coast; as it can hardly be 

 called rare in West-Greenland. Besides Greenland it is known 

 from Iceland, Finland, Sweeden, Norway, Scotland and quite 

 recently also from Denmark. 



2. Micralymma brevilingue Schiødte. 



Appears to be common, it is known from Hekla Havn 

 9.6.00 and Smalsund 17.9.00. 



Geographical distribution: The species is very com- 

 mon in West-Greenland but is unknown from any other locality 

 out of this country. 



Lathridiidæ. 



1. Lathridius minutus L. 



Only two specimens are known from East-Greenland, one 

 from Hekla Havn 9. 6. 92 and one from Tasiusak, found at the 

 top of a hill 200 ft. amongst moss. 



Geographical distribution: This species has only 

 been found a few times in West-Greenland. Lundbeck (7. 209) 

 states that he supposes that it has most probably been origi- 

 nally imported into Greenland. As, however, specimens have 

 been found in the open in East- Greenland, it would appear that 

 the species also had its home here. It is otherwise a cosmo- 

 politan.
