of this uncommon species in the collection of beetles at 
the Liverpool Free Public Museum, with the locality 
‘‘Heswall”’ attached to it, and obtained there under heath, 
by the Rev. H. H. Higgins, stimulated Mr. Smedley to 
search for the species in that locality, and with a successful 
result. Both he and Mr. Wilding have taken it freely 
there in spring and autumn, and I was fortunate in finding 
two specimens in a similar situation on Oxton Common in 
October, 1885. 
Broscus cephalotes, L. Common on the shores of the 
Mersey, under driftwood, &c. 
Chlenius nigricornis, F. Banks of the Birket, and from 
Knowsley Quarry, in April and May (C.8.G.). 
Harpalus azureus, F. Wallasey Pool (C.8.G.). 
Harpalus rupicola, Sturm. 'The specimens which have 
been previously recorded as puncticollis, at least those in 
my own and Mr. Gregson’s collections, appear to be 
uniformly rupicola. The species occurs sparingly at 
Wallasey, Hightown, &c. 
Harpalus rufibarbis, F. I have taken two specimens of 
this species in the neighbourhood, one at Spital, the other 
at Wallasey. 
Harpalus ruficorms, F. Abundant. 
Harpalus proteus, Payk. == H.eneus, FE. Very abundant 
and variable. 
Harpalus latus, L. Frequent on Bidston Hill and on 
Heswall Heath. 
Harpalus neglectus, Dej. Occasional on the Wallasey 
sandhills, and on the shore at Hightown. 
Harpalus tardus, Panz. Not common. It has occurred 
between Crosby and Waterloo, on the shore; on the 
Wallasey sandhills and on Bidston Hill. 
Harpalus serrypes, Schon. I took a female of this epecics 
on the Wallasey sandhills in March, 1882.
