J. W. ELLIS : LIVERPOOL COLEOPTERA. 



HYDRONOMUS, Schon. 



Hydronomus alismatis, Marsh. Mr. F. Kinder used to take this 

 species freely in pits in the neighbourhood of Kirkdale. 



BALANINUS, Germ. 



Balaninus glandium, Marsh. Frequent in the neighbourhood of 

 Eastham Wood, where the larva feeds on acorns, and is fre- 

 quently mistaken for that of the lepidopterous Carpocapsa 

 sphndana by collectors. 



ANTHONOMUS, Germ. 



Anthonomus ulmi, De G. I have a specimen of this species, which 



I captured at Wavertree some years ago. 

 Anthonomus pomorum, L. Frequent on hawthorn blossom at Brom- 



borough, in May.

 and occasionally inland.

 wood, last June. 



Orchestes salicis, L. Frequent on sallows on the coast, as well as 

 inland. 



RHAMPUS, Clair. 



Rhampus flavicornis, Clair. Common on the sandhills in spring, 

 but much easier to see in the sweeping net than to bottle.

Orobitis cyaneus, L. Mr. Wilding took this species on the South- 

 port sandhills, on violets, and I have swept the species on the 

 Hightown sandhills. 



CCELIODES, Schon. 



Cceliodes quadrimaculatus, L. Abundant on nettles. 



CEUTHORHYNCHUS, Germ.
