310 3LR. T. J. BOLD ON LOCAL HOIIOPTEEA. 



at the roots of grass on sand-hills near Hartley, in Novem- 

 ber and December. "Winged, brachypterous, and larval 

 forms all taken at the same time. 



37. B. hamatus, Boh. A large well-marked species. Common 



in rough grassy places in our district. Most of the speci- 

 mens are of the short- winged form, not one in a hundred 

 having the wings fully developed. 



38. D. striatellus, Fall. Somewhat rare. Has been taken in 



the macropterous form, at Briar Dene, Grosforth, Gibside, 

 &c, in May, June, and August. 



39. D. forcipata, Boh. I have two males from Hartley and 



Seaton, which are referred by the Rev. T. A. Marshall to 

 this species. It is a small black-looking creature, and 

 rather glossy. The only locality given by Flor is Sweden. 

 Found in May and June. 



40. D. discolor, Boh. This species is abundant with us in 



May and June, but none of the specimens taken are 

 winged. It frequents grassy places, preferring short 

 green herbage, such as obtains in closely cropped pas- 

 tures. I have also taken it in hilly places in Cumberland. 



4 1 . D. limhatus, Fab. Exceedingly abundant amongst rushes 



in damp places, occurring most plentifully in September. 

 Of the many hundreds swept up, not one with developed 

 wings has been noticed. 



42. D. nasalis, Boh. Two males and three females of this rare 



and well-marked species were taken at Gosforth, in July. 

 Both were of the brachypterous type. 



43. B. allomarginatus, Curtis. This very pretty thing is not 



rare with us. I have taken it amongst rough herbage 

 at Briar Dene, Gosforth, and elsewhere, by sweeping- 

 herbage, in June. But I found it more plentifully by 

 searching at the roots of the herbage on the sand hillocks 

 near Hartley, in May. All taken are of the short- winged 

 form.
