Aphodius contaminatus, Herbst. A late species, appearing 
usually about August or September, and though uncertain 
in its appearance, generally common on the Wallasey 
sandhills and Bidston Hull. 
Aphodius obliteratus, Panz. I took several specimens 
of this species some years ago in Patrick Wood, near 
Bromborough. They occurred in the dung og tame — 
in October. 
Aphodius rufipes, lL. Very abundant. Mr. Wilding has 
observed this species flying round gas-lamps at night. 
Aphodius luridus, FE. A specimen brought me from 
Hale, some years ago, is all I have seen in the district. 
Recorded from Crosby by Mr. Archer. 
Aphodius depressus, Kug. Taken commonly on the 
Wallasey sandhills, a few years ago, by Mr. Wilding. 
Oxyomus villosus, Gyll. An exceedingly scarce British 
insect, of which Mr. B. Cooke took a specimen at South- 
port, on 19th June, 1858 (Ent. Monthly Mag., vol. v., p. 44). 
Mr. Wilding has been fortunate in taking a single specimen 
at Wallasey. 
Oxyomus porcatus, F. A few specimens in dry aes 
on the Crosby shore (J.W.E.). 
Psammobius sulcicollis, Ill. Occasional on the Crosby 
and Hightown sandhills. 
Aigialia sabuleti, Pk. Taken by Mr. Dycher at New 
Brighton, in May, 1863. 
Aigialia rufa, F. The only known British locality for 
this species is Wallasey, from whence it was first recorded 
as British by Mr. Archer (Liverpool Naturalists’ Scrap 
Book, p. 186), who took the species in June, 1862. No 
more specimens seem to have occurred until 1883, when 
Mr. Wilding took two, but during 1885 and 1886 it 
occurred freely.
