THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
I have taken it as long ago as 1848 at 
Herne Bay, where it was quite plentiful 
in that year, and I understood that speci- 
mens are of frequent occurrence about 
Margate. — E. C. Rye, 14, Kings Parade ,

Hymenoptera. 
Sirex gigas. — I have just received an 
enormous specimen of this fine insect 
from Raiusbury, in Wiltshire, where I am 
told it is common : it is also to be found 
near Esher, Claremont, in July. — E. C. 
Rye, 14, King's Parade , Chelsea. 
CoLEOPTERA. 
Captures of Coleoptera. — About a 
month ago, somewhat to my surprise, 
I saw and speedily captured a specimen 
of Bembidium quinque-strialum on the 
parapet of a bridge which crosses the 
railway near this. As this is the season 
for the examination of old trees, I may 
(for the encouragement of beginners) 
mention what one tree in this park has 
supplied me with at different times : — 
Opilus mollis , Thanasimus formicarius , 
which I bred from larvae obtained in the 
tree, the pretty Anobium perlinax, the 
bores of which are distinguishable from 
those of A. tessellatum (which abound in 
the tree) by their smaller size. This 
species is remarkable for its neat appear- 
ance and the yellow down at the base of 
the thorax. While searching for this in- 
sect I dug out some small Elaters, which 
Mr. Janson kindly determined to be Am- 
pedus subcarinatus of Germar; it was 
afterwards taken by Mr. S. Stevens near 
Tooting. I lost more than one by its 
activity in springing. Other commoner 
things of course occur in the tree, and 
under it, by sweeping, I have taken three 
specimens of Euglenes oculalus and Mala- 
chius rubricollis in abundance. A neigh- 
bouring tree produced Tomicus villosus in 
its roots and Conopalpus (cstaceus on its 
bark ; and from another, also very close 
to the first, I last year beat a pair of 
Trinodes hirtus and Throscus dermes - 
toules, which I do not meet with else- 
where in the neighbourhood. — George 
Guyon, Richmond, Surrey ; Sept. 22.
