Calathus piceus, Marsh. In woods, local and apparently 
not common. 
Taphria nvalis, Panz. Local, and not common where 
it does occur. I have only once taken it freely, at West 
Derby, in a dry ditch-bottom ; it has also occurred on the 
banks of the Alt, at Hightown (C.8.G.); Flaybrick Hill 
(J.W.E.); Eastham (R.W.); and West Kirby (A. H. May). 
Anchomenus junceus, Scop., = A. angusticollis, F. 
Occasional in damp places. 
Anchomenus dorsalis, Mull., = A. prasinus, Thunb. 
Abundant. 
Anchomenus albipes, FE. Abundant in wet places. 
Anchomenus marginatus, L. Common and generally 
distributed in damp places, especially in damp hollows 
among the Wallasey sandhills. 
Anchomenus ericeti, Panz. On the margin of muddy 
places on the mosses (J. Chappell). 
Anchomenus parumpunctatus, F. Abundant. 
Anchomenus viduus, Panz. The type form is very scarce 
in our district, but the var. moestus, Dufts, occurs sparingly. 
Anchomenus atratus, Dufts. Generally distributed, but 
not common. 
Anchomenus piceus, L. ‘‘ Kastham and Hooton, scarce”’ 
(G2 o.G) 
Anchomenus gracilis, Gyll. Mr. Wilding has taken a 
specimen of this species under bark at Kastham. 
Anchomenus fuliginosus, Panz. The most frequent of 
this division of the genus, occurring in damp places in 
widely separated localities. 
Anchomenus puellus, De}. Two specimers only have 
been recorded from the district: one by Mr. F. Archer, 
obtained by shaking bundles of dried reeds on Bidston 
Marsh (Scrap Book); one taken by Mr. Wilding at West 
Derby.
