Mr. Hardy on the Entomology of the Cheviots. 329 



Athous vittatus, Fab. I observed this just emerged from the 

 pupa state, under a stone near the junction of Broadstruther 

 and Common burns. Many other Elaters may be found in 

 this condition in the bogs on the moors. 



Melanottts ptjevipes, Herbst. I dug nearly a dozen perfect in- 

 sects from a decayed alder, opposite Middleton Hall ground, 

 on the south side of the water, where I had previously noticed 

 the larva. This is new to Northumberland, and the Gates- 

 head locality still remains the only one for Durham. " Cata- 

 logue of the Insects of Northumberland and Durham,'' p. 150, 

 There I found it in oaks, ashes, and willows. 



Telephortts abdominalis, Fab. This fine insect was seen in 

 several localities : Lillburn, at South Middleton dean ; Middle- 

 ton Hall wood ; Langlee wood. 



„ rtjstictts, Fall. Old Middleton wood. 



„ clypeattts, Id. Old Middleton wood. 



Salpingtjs ^eratus, Iftils. Old Middleton wood. 



Apodertts Coryli, L. I found two of this very rare insect on 

 hazel in Yeavering wood. Several of the bundles in which it 

 deposits its eggs were attached to the foliage, being portions 

 of the leaves loosely wrapped. It is unrecorded for Northum- 

 berland. I have only met with it, long ago, in Penmanshiel 

 wood, before the hazels were thinned out of it. The specimen 

 long stood in Dr. Johnston's collection. 



Rhynchites nanus, Payh. One on a willow in Middleton Hall 

 lower wood. It is more frequent in Berwickshire. 



„ ^neovirens, Marsh. I found a large family of this 



local species feeding on the buds and young leaves of oak, in 

 Old Middleton wood, where I had previously beat it out of 

 hazel, on which it had probably dropped from the oaks above. 



Magdalinus carbonarius, Z. I obtained a considerable number 

 of specimens from birch, in several spots above Langleyford. 

 It prefers the skirts of the wood. There is a great variety in 

 size. 



CiELioDES Geranii, Parle. On Geranium sylvaticum, Middleton 

 Hall lower wood, 



Orchestes scutellaris, Fab t In Yeavering wood, on alder, 

 where I originally found it ; also above Langleyford. 



Tachterges Salicis, L. Yeavering wood. 



Liopus NEBULOsus. L. Middleton Hall lower wood. 



Chrysomela pastuosa, L. This brilliant insect is common in 

 Berwickshire ; but hitherto Twizell is the only recorded 

 locality for Northumberland. This year I found it on Lamium 

 album in a lane in the field called Gamesley, at the top of the 

 town of Wooler. 



Adimonia Crataegi, For st. This has hitherto only been noticed 

 at Twizell. This year it occurred among hawthorn all along
