CAPTURES. 
COLEOPTERA. 
Captures near London . — At page 
182, vol. 2, of the “Weekly Ento- 
mologist,” I gave some account of 
my captures in the Geodephaga 
during the months of May and 
June. I intended to continue the 
list immediately by mentioning some 
of my captures in the other groups 
of Coleoptera, but was prevented 
from doing so by the pressure of 
other communications. I regret to 
say that this is no longer the case, 
(will correspondents please take the 
hint) and so now proceed to furnish 
some notes on the Brachelytra which 
I have met with. I omit the most 
abundant species. 
Myrmedonia limbata. Several 
specimens in nests of Formica jlava, 
under stones. 
Calodera, sp. 1 of Wat. Cat. On 
the border of a muddy pond. 
Ischnopoda longitarsis. With the 
above. 
Oxypoda opaca. Common in 
Epping Forest. 
0. brevicornis . In a nest of F. 
jlava. 
Oxypoda formiceticola. With F. 
rufa. 
0. hcemorrhoa. With F. rufa. 
Common. 
Homalota vicina. I have met 
with this insect in various situations 
and places. 
II. elongatvla. Common in several 
places. Always about stagnant 
water. I have taken two forms of 
this curious insect — one a very 
fine, large variety with reddish 
elytra, and one very much smaller 
and more obscure. It is worthy of 
remark that the two forms have 
generally occurred together. 
IF . luridipennis. A. few in cow 
droppings. 
H. debilis. In nests of F. rufa 
among the rubbish. 
II. flavipes. Very common in 
nests of F. rufa. My experience is 
that however unproductive a nest
