Gen. DoRYTOMUs. 
T>. Tortrix, De Jean. StepJi. Cur. Tortrix^ Linn, 
Marsh. 
Not very common. Cramond, and elsewhere. 
D. maculatus, Steph. Cur. maculatus. Marsh. 
This species has been taken in the neighbourhood, but 
it is by no means common. 
Gen. PissoDEs. 
i P. Pini, Germar. Steph. Cur. Pini, Linn. Rynch. 
Abietis, Leach. 
This insect is said by Dr Leach to have been discover- 
ed, as a native of Britain, by Dr Malden, who took it 
near Hameton, in Scotland. It is, I presume, the Cur. 
Abietis of Mr Stewart''s List, who represents it as the 
rarest coleopterous insect inhabiting the neighbourhood of 
Edinburgh. It is inserted here on his authority. 
The handsome and rare species P. notatus is likewise a 
Scotch insect, having been recently taken in Forfarshire. 
Gen. Hypera. 
H. punctata, Curtis, Cur. medius and Cur. austriacus, 
Marsh. 
Rather a scarce species, and found only where the soil is 
sandy. Old Quarry at the Powder Magazine in the King's 
Park. Shore west of Newhaven. 
H. fasciculosa, Curtis, iii. pi. 116. 
This species is said by Mr Curtis, who has figured and 
described it, to be found in Norfolk, where, however, it is 
by no means common. It does not appear to be very 
scarce in Scotland, as it has been taken repeatedly in this 
neighbourhood, and in other parts of the country. It is 
usually found under stones in sandy places. Fisherrow
