The Irish NatiiralisL 



January, 



De G. ; /. obscurus, Marsh. ; Gyrinus minutus, F., the 

 latter very common in bog holes. 



Lcsteva longelytrata, Goeze ; L. sicula, Er., common in 

 moss ; Stcnus fornicatus, Steph., several specimens by 

 treading the vegetation at the edge of a lake, also one at 

 Castle Saunderson ; Philonthus quisquiliarius , GylL, both 

 the type form and the var. diniidiatus, Er., on the edges of 

 lakes ; Megacronus cingulatus, Mann., two specimens ; 

 Agaricochara laevicollis, Kr., one in a Boletus. This species 

 has only quite recently been added to the Irish list by Mr. 

 Bullock. 1^ Encephalus complicans, West., one by sweeping ; 

 Leptusa funiida, Er., a few in a dead Holly log ; Tachyxisa 

 atra, Gr., one in mud by the side of a lake. 



Eumicrus tarsatus, Mull., one on the lawn, by sweeping ; 

 Choleva Watsoni, Spence ; Anisotoma calcarata, Er., a few ; 

 Colenis dentipes, GylL, one. I obtained the last two 

 species by sweeping under Beech trees in the middle of the 

 afternoon, on several days. On returning on the same 

 evenings at dusk, I never swept a single one. 



Podabrus alpinus, Pk., a few on fir trees ; Telephorus 

 figuratus, Man., common everywhere. 



Cercus bipustulatus, Pk., common by sweeping over 

 boggy ground. One of my specimens is dark brown, 

 without the usual reddish spots on the elytra ; Epuraea 

 ohsoleta, F., in numbers in the runs of Hylastes palliatus, 

 Gyll. ; here also I obtained twelve specimens of Ips iv- 

 punctata, Hbst., a species that I have only recently added 

 to the Irish list from Meath.^- Both it and /. iv-guttata, F., 

 occurred in the same runs together ; Rhizophagus depressus, 

 F., common under fir bark ; Telmatophilus caricis, 01. ; 

 Lathridius lardarius, De G. ; Adalia obliterata, L. ab. 

 sublineata, Weise, several specimens together with the type 

 form on fir trees. This is the first time this aberration, 

 which differs merely from the type in the possession of two 

 black dashes on the elytra, has been recorded from Ireland, 

 although it no doubt occurs in many localities ; Mysia 

 oblongo guttata, L., common ; Halyzia xvi-guttata, L., one 

 on a fir tree.
