— stercorarius, Ol. Croyde, nr. Barnstaple, etc. 



— erythropterus, L. As gen. dist. (Parfitt) 



1 Parfitt records ' T. cellaris,' Grav. as a Devon insect, pro- 

 bably in error for T. collaris, Grav. In any case I think lie is 

 mistaken, as I know of no record further south than Repton, 

 Derbyshire. 



" The Rev. A. Matthews {Ent. Monthly Mag. xiv, 35) records a 

 specimen of Leistotrophus cingulatus, Grav., as taken in Devon- 

 shire in August, 1874, by his brother the Rev. H. Matthews, but 

 this was probably in error. 



STAPHYLINIDAE (continued) 



Staphylinus caesareus, Ceder. Exeter, Instow, etc. 



(Staphylinus latebricola, Grav., must be 

 omitted from the Devon list. I recorded a 

 specimen from Plymouth in my work on the 

 British Coleoptera (ii, 252), on the authority of 

 Mr. C. G. Bignell, but Mr. Keys informs me 

 that he has the insect in his possession and it is 

 only S. stercorarius) 



Ocypus olens, Mull. 



— brunnipes, F. 



— cupreus, Rossi. 



— pedator, Grav. Dawlish, Spitchwick (Stephens) 



— ater, Grav. Lympston, Exmouth, llfracombe, etc. 



I have found it rather commonly on the links 

 at Westward Ho ! Lundy Island 



— morlo, Grav. 



— compressus, Marsh. Exeter, Brent Tor, Lundy Island 

 Philonthus splendens, F. 



— intermedius, Boisd. 



— laminatus, Creutz. 



— aeneus, Rossi. 



— proximus, Kr. 



— succicola, Thoms. 



— carbonarius, Gyll. 



— atratus, Grav. Sidmouth, Exmouth, Newton, etc. 



(Parfitt) » 



— decorus, Grav. 



— politus, F. 



— varius, Gyll. 



var. bimaculatus, Grav. Plymouth, etc. 

 - — marginatus, F. 



— albipes, Grav. 



— umbratilis, Grav. 



— cephalotes, Grav. 



— fimetarius, Grav. 



— sordidus, Grav. 



— ebeninus, Er. 



— corvinus, Er. Valley of the Meavy 



— fumigatus, Er. 



— debilis, Grav. 



— sanguinolentus, Grav. 



— cruentatus, Gmel. (bipustulatus, Panz.) 



— longicornis, Steph. (scybalarius, Nord,) 



— varians, Payk. 



— agilis, Grav. Brent, Dartmoor. Three specimens 



(J. H. Keys) 



— ventralis, Grav. 



— discoideus, Grav. 



— quisquiliarius, Gyll. 



var. dimidiatus, Er. Slapton Ley 



— nigrita, Nord. Dartmoor (J. H. Keys) 



— micans, Grav. 



t — astutus, Er. Mr. Keys has taken four examples at 

 different times on thewallofa house mPlymouth, 

 but has failed to discover its native habitat 



— nigritulus, Grav. Recorded by Parfitt from 



Newton, Exeter, and the north of the Exe, but 

 probably in error for the next species, which 

 he does not mention 



— trossulus, Nord. 



— fulvipes, F. Barnstaple district (Matthews) 



— punctus, Grav. This rare Philonthus is one of 



the characteristic insects of Slapton Ley. It 

 seems of late to have become very scarce 



• I am inclined to think that Parfitt has recorded this in error 

 for P, carbonarius, as the latter species does not appear in his 

 list, and there is no other Devon record for P. atratus.
