7. Lithocharis fuscula, Mann., Ins. Deutsch., II, 715. 



A single specimen, taken beneath a stone, at South Shields, in 

 April. 



8. Stenus Sylvester, Erichs., E. C. Rye, Entomological An- 



nual, 1865, 55. 

 "A single specimen, from Northumberland," named by Mr. 

 "W". E. Janson, and confirmed by Dr. Kraatz, is in the collection of 

 the former gentleman. 



9. St. debilis, Erichs., E. C. Eye, Ent. Ann., 1865, 56. 



" The original British specimens, in Mr. "Water-house's cabinet, 

 are supposed to be from Northumberland." It has occurred in 

 several other localities. 



10. TrogopMceus halophilus, Kies., Rye, Ent. Ann , 1865, 61. 

 Of this newly detected British species, one specimen only has 



occurred on Whitley sands. As it has no dorsal grooves on tbe 

 thorax, it is easily separated from the other species of this genus. 



11. Omalium striatum, Grav., Ins. Deutsch., II, 1000. 

 Taken at Gosforth in August, and at Boldon Flats in Septem- 

 ber, by sweeping rough herbage. 



12. Micropeplus margarita, Jacq. du Val., Rye, Ent. Ann., 



1863, 89. 

 More abundant with us than M. stapliylinoides, from which it is 

 readily known by its comparatively longer elytra. 



13. JVecrophorus microcephalics, Thomson, Skandinaviens Cole- 



optera IY, 9. 

 Mr. G. R. Crotch having drawn my attention to the existence 

 of this species in England, I have examined my local specimens 

 and found one male, which has the characters given by Thomson. 

 It is closely allied to JV. ruspator, from which it differs in having 

 the trochanters in the male simple ; the membranous clypeus 

 of a different shape, with the head less convex, and differently 

 impressed. 



14. Liodes orbicularis, Herbst., Inst. Deutsch., Ill, 91. 

 In fungi, at Gosforth ; rare. September. 



15. JEpurcea florea, Er., Ins. Deutsch., 255.
