COLEOPTERA IN YORKSHIRE IN 1913. 
E. G. BAYFORD, F.E.S., 
Notwithstanding the general scarcity of beetles throughout 
the year, the results as set out in the following list are by no 
means discouraging. As in previous years, the initials H. H. C., 
E. C. H., W. J. F., YV.E.S., E.W.M., M.L.T., G.B.W. and 
E. G. B., indicate Dr. Corbett, E. C. Horrell. Dr. Fordham. 
\Y. E. Sharp, E. W. Morse, M. L. Thompson, G. B. Walsh, and 
the writer respectively. In addition, we have to welcome a new 
worker, Mr. C. T. Cribb, of Shipley, whose researches among 
the Hydradephaga have renewed an old record of 80 years 
ago, and added another species to the County list. Several 
melanic forms from the Scarborough district have been taken 
by Messrs. Horrell and Pearson, and were exhibited at the recent 
annual meeting of the Entomological Section. These included 
an almost black form of Nebria livida which contrasted in a 
striking manner with the type, Harpalus aeneus, Amara acu- 
minata, Ocypus brunnipes, Oxytelus sculptus, and O. nitidulus. 
From the same district came a specimen of Otiorrhynchus 
picipes in which the normally deciduous mandibles had per- 
sisted, and curiously asymmetric forms of Notiophilus bigut- 
tatus and Apion violaceum. A longicorn was handed to me 
at the meeting which seemed to be Clytns arietis L., but turned 
out to be Neoclytiis acuminata F. ( =Clytus erythrocephalus F.) 
a North American species which has previously been recorded 
from England. This latest instance occurred at Huddersfield, 
and illustrates the help which students of other orders are able 
to give coleopterists without in any way interfering with their 
own particular study ; while carrying it on, in fact. The 
following list contains the most important species met with 
during the year. Those which are first records from the 
county division from which they are recorded are indicated 
by an asterisk (*) those new to the county by a dagger (j). 
The changes of nomenclature which have been found 
necessary since the latest list was published, in 1904, are in- 
cluded, the old names being added in brackets.
