 males of one and the same species. The knobs on the thorax,

42. Salpingus ceratus, Muls., E. C. Eye, 1. c. 1867, 84. 

 Three specimens, Yetholm. Mr. G. R. Crotch. 



43. Sitones Mncellus, Gyll., E. C. Rye, 1. c. 85. 



This fugitive species has at last proved to be undoubtedly 

 British. With us it frequents the sea-banks, north of Whitley, 

 where they are covered by rough herbage. Although not abun- 

 dant, yet it keeps dropping into the net the whole season, mostly 

 single specimens at a time. 



44. Barynotus Schonherri, Zett., E. C. Rye, 1. c. 86. 



Equally common with obscurus. I took some very fine ex- 

 amples out of recently cut grass, at Heaton, in July. 



45. Otiorhynchus pabulinus, Panz. 



On melilot trefoil. Five specimens from Hartley, and one 

 from South Shields. September. 



46. Acctlles Ptinoides, Marsh. 



One specimen beneath a piece of wood at Gibside. May. 



47. Ceuthorhynchm quercicola, Fab., W. O, 80, 15. 

 Rare ; Heaton and Little Benton. June. 



48. Ceu. punctiger, Gyll., E. C. Rye, 1. c. 1866, 105. 

 Benton bank. July. 



49. Ceuthorkynchidms terminatus, Herbst. 

 Very rare ; Hartley. September. 



50. Hylastes palliatus, Gyll. 



Abounds wherever there are felled pine trees.
