•Hydroporus ang-ustatusj Sturm. — I was rather surprised to find 
this water-beetle in the moss; it had probably crawled into that 
which I took from the edge of small drains, some of which was very 
wet. The species is not at all common in Ireland, and hitherto 
recorded only from Donegal, Antrim, and Armagh. 
Hclophorus brevlpalpis, Bedel V\ obtained only these two com- 
Cercyon mclanoccphalus, L. J mon species of Hydrophilidae.

Lathroblum long^ulurrii Grav.— It is noticeable that most of the 
captures of this beetle hitherto recorded have been on lake shores. 
Cryptobium glaberrlmum, Herbst.— There are but four other 
localities of this species in Ireland— viz., Armagh; Belleisle, Co. 
Fermanagh ; Leenane, Co. Galway ; and Kenmare, Co. Kerry. It is 
very local, but the wide range indicated by the above localities points 
to its probable occurrence in many other places. 
♦Evaesthetus ruf Icapillus, Lac— The only other record for this 
species is my own from Armagh. It inhabits wet moss, and, being 
very small and sluggish, is easily passed over. 
Stenus Juno, F.— I got a number ot this fine Stenus. 
S. speculator, Er. 
*S. lustrator, Er.— This is a new record, not only for Fermanagh, 
but for Ulster, the only other record is by Mr. Halbert from Achill, 
where he took it on the summit of Slievemore. The species is re- 
markable for the long, curled pubescence which runs in two lines 
down the centre of the abdomen. 
S. nitens, Steph.— There is only one other record for this species 
from Ireland— viz., Armagh— taken by Mr. W. E. Sharp in flood 
rubbish. It appears to be local in England. 
*S. fuscipes, Grav.— Another interesting little beetle, which, though 
widely spead, does not appear to be at all common in Ireland, 
S. Itjrunnlpes, Steph.
