Notes of some Captures of Coleoptera in East Lothian. By 

 Archibald Buchan-Hepburn, Esq. 



PAET II. 



The district within which. I took (with very few exceptions) 

 the insects mentioned in this Part, and in Part I., is an ex- 

 tremely small one ; its outside limit being a line drawn from 

 Dunbar links to Presmennan lake, from there to East Linton, and 

 lastly to the sea shore at Tynningham sands. 



Naturally this district will supply a very small portion of the 

 Coleoptera of East Lothian ; though owing to the peculiar nature 

 of the ground in the neighbourhood of the mouth of the river 

 Tyne, one might expect, as is the case, some insects not obtainable 

 elsewhere in East Lothian. 

 Notiophilus palustris (Duft). Tyne. 



,, substriatus (West). Lethem, Gladsmuir. 



Dyschirius salinus (Schaum). Common at mouth of Tyne, as- 

 sociated with Pogonus chalceus and Dichirostichus pubes- 



CENS. 



Cychrus rostratus (L). Not uncommon under dead leaves ; 



Smeaton. 

 Carabus granulatus (L). Common. I once took 28 out of a 

 dead Willow. Smeaton. Here both catenulatus and viola- 

 cetjs are of less frequent occurrence than granulatus. 

 Leistus fulvibarbis (Dej ?). Not common. 



,, rufescens (Eab) Common. 

 Dromius linearis (01). Banks of Tyne, not common. 



,, nigrtventris. Not uncommon. Dunbar links. 

 Calathus melanocephalus (L). The dark variety nubigena 

 (Hal) occurs more or less frequently. 

 ,, microptertjs (Duft). Occasional. 



,, picetjs (Marsh). Not common. 

 Anchomenus fuliginosus (Pz). Occasional. 



,, scrruLUS (Dj). Very rare, one spec. This is new 



I believe for Scotland. 

 Olisthopus rotund atus (Payk). Occasional on high ground. 

 Bembidium obtustjm (Sturm). Smeaton. 



„ jenetjm (Germ). Common in damp ground. 



,, pusilltjm (Gryll). Tynningham sands, associated 



with Pogonus Dichirostichus and Dyschirius.
