Mr. Hardy on the Entomology of the Cheviot Hills. 167 



Hydroporus obscurus. Ditto, 

 Agabus chalconotus. Ditto, 

 Autalia impressa. In agarics, plentiful. 



Bolitochara lucid A. One at the bas6 of Polyporus versicolor, on 

 a decayed tree, in a wood on Wooler water, above Coldgate 

 Mill. New to Northumberland.

 water. 



,, badia. One in a birch fungus (Polyporus betulinus) 

 along with a Rhyzophagus, in Goldscleugh wood, base of 

 Cheviot. The fungus, however, was touching the ground, 

 whence the insect may have reached it. 

 Leptusa ftjmida, Er. Beneath bark fungi. 



„ ruficollis, Er. With the preceding. The two often 



occur together under bark. They form my Homalota ru/escens

Aleochara rufescens, Xirby.
