COLEOPTERA FROM CO. FERMANAGH. 
BY REV. W. F. JOHNSON, M.A., F.K.S. 
I HAD the pleasure of spending a few days in the early part 
of December at Summer Hill, the beautiful seat of Major H. 
St. George Richardson. There were not, of course, many 
insects about, but I succeeded in obtaining several examples 
of Scaphisovia boleti, Panz., in fungus on a fine beech. There 
are only two other records of this beetle in Ireland — viz., 
Clonbrock, Co. Galwa}-, and Dundrum, Co. Dublin. It is 
somewhat sluggish in its movements, and was mostly on the 
surface of the fungus. I should have obtained more speci- 
mens, but not having a proper collecting bottle several 
escaped me. On the same tree I found a dead specimen of 
Mcci7ins pyraster, Herbst. Under stones in a wood I met 
with several Leistus fidvibarbis^ Dej., and Loricera pilicornis^ F. 
The main portion of my captures were obtained in a large 
bag of moss. The moss was of the most luxuriant character, 
such as is only to be obtained in old demesnes, where the 
ground has been undisturbed for generations. Summer Hill 
is a short distance from Clones, but in Co. Fermanagh ; the 
surrounding country is pretty, being of an undulating 
character, with numerous small lakes, and a considerable 
amount of woodland ; the rock of the district appears to be 
limestone. 
In the list which follows of my captures I have marked 
those not previously recorded from Fermanagh with an 
asterisk. 
Notlophllus blguttatus, F. 
Dyschlrlussriobosus, Herbst.—A single specimen. I got this species 
freely in moss at Armagh. 
*Badlster sodalls, Duft. — I only obtained one example of this hand- 
some little beetle, which is not at all common in Ireland, although 
it is pretty widely distributed through the country, being recorded 
from Antrim, Down, Roscommon, and Galway. 
Ptcrostlchus strenuus, Panz. "1 
P. dilig:ens, Sturm. 
Anchomcnus gracilis, Gyll. 
Bembidlum IVIanncrhcimI , Sahl.
