Thornley and Ryles : Nottinghamshire Geodephaga. 



117 



Carabus granulatus L. Retford (S. P.); Widmerpool 

 (W. E. R.) ; Beeston (Pope and Freestone). 



Carabus monilis F. Nottingham district, 1899 (S. D.) ; Tres- 

 well (A. T.); Retford (S. P.); Hoveringham and Chilwell 

 (W. E. R.). 



Notiophilus biguttatus Fab. Apparently common throughout 

 the county. 



Notiophilus substriatus Wat. Nottingham, one example 

 (W. E. R.) ; South Leverton, a few (A. T.). 



Notiophilus quadripunctatus Dej. An example of this doubt- 

 fully distinct species was taken in the Nottingham district 

 by Mr. Ryles ; also one example taken by Mr. Thornley at 

 Leverton. It differs in no respect from .V. biguttatus, save 

 in the possession of four somewhat irregular punctures on 

 the elytra. 



Notiophilus aquaticus L. Appears to be nothing like so 

 common in the county as the next species ; Treswell 

 (A. T. ); West Bridgeford (Freestone). 



Notiophilus palustris Duft. Retford district, rather common 

 (A. T.) ; Nottingham district (W. E. R.). 



We may note that Mr. Thornley has taken the only 

 remaining British species, N. rufipes Curt., just outside the 

 county, on the banks of the Trent, making it probable that 

 the whole genus will be found in Notts. 



Leistus spinibarbis F. Retford district (S. P.); Nottingham 



district (W. E. R.). 

 Leistus fulvibarbis Dej. Uncommon, Retford district (S. P.); 



Nottingham district (W. E. R.). 

 Leistus ferrugineus L. South Leverton (A. T.) ; Retford 



(S. P.) ; Strelley (W. E. R.) ; Barton-in-Fabis (W. E. R.) ; 



Colwick (W. E. R.). 

 Leistus rufescens F. Nottingham and Strelley (W. E. R.). 



Nebria brevicollis F. Common in the Retford and Nottingham 

 districts. There is probably a very early reference to this 

 species in the 'Entomological Magazine' for April 1833, 

 pp. 285-286, by Ed. Newman. Under the name Helobia 

 lata is described a new species taken in considerable 

 numbers in the neighbourhood of Nottingham by Dr. 

 Howitt. In ' Stephens' Manual ' this evidently reappears 

 as H. varicoruis Newman. There is little doubt but that 

 this was only a variety of N. brevicollis.
