COLEOPTERA OBSERVED IN HERTFORDSHIRE IN 1904. 
By E. George Elliman. 
Bead at Watford, 2,§th March , 1905. 
The following additions have been made to the list of Hertford¬ 
shire Coleoptera in 1904 :— 
Harpalus sabulicola, Panz. Rossway, near Berkhamsted : E. G. 
Elliman. 
Cercyon nigriceps , Marsh. Tring : E. G. Elliman. 
Homalota consanguinea , Epp. Tring: E. G. Elliman. Two 
examples were found in much decayed beech-leaves at Tring. This 
species was discovered at Hastings in 1871 by Mr. E. Saunders, 
who only found three specimens, and it had not been noticed since 
in any part of this country. Surprise was expressed at the time of 
its discovery that it should have been found in the British Isles, 
being mainly an Austrian species, and not having been found at all 
in France up to that time. 
Placusa pumilio, Grav. Rossway: E. G. Elliman. This beetle 
was found under the bark of oak at Rossway, near Berkhamsted. 
Myllcena minuta, Grav. Wigginton : E. G. Elliman. In moss. 
Catops sericatus , Chaud. Aldbury : E G. Elliman. Taken by 
sweeping at Aldbury. This insect has only recently been recog¬ 
nized as British by Mr. Champion, though it is probably standing 
in some of our collections under the name of Catops sericeus, Fabr., 
small examples of which it closely resembles in general appearance. 
Coccinella: hieroglyphica , Linn. Aldbury Owers: E. G. Elliman. 
Hister bissexstriatus, Fabr. St. Albans : A. E. Gibbs.
