COLEOPTEROUS FAUNA OF LIVERPOOL DISTRICT. 203 
Anacena variabilis, Sharp. Common. 
Philhydrus testaceus, F. ‘‘Common in pits near West- 
minster Road” (F.K.); frequent near Moreton Station 
(J.W.E.). 
Philhydrus melanocephalus, Ol. With the preceding 
species (F’. K.). 
Philhydrus suturalis, Sharp. A few specimens taken 
along with ovalis at Moreton. 
Philhydrus ovalis, Thoms. ‘‘Taken freely in a drain 
between Leasowe Embankment and Moreton Station”’ 
(J. Chappell, zm litt.). I took it in abundance in the same 
locality in March, 1886, and April, 1888 (J.W.E.). 
Laccobius minutus, lu. Recorded from the Fender, 
Bidston Marsh, by A. H. May, but whether the type form 
or the variety (species?) bipunctatus, F., Mr. May does not 
say. I have never taken the true minutus, but have a 
specimen of bipunctatus captured in the Alt, at Hightown. 
Laccobius nigriceps, Thoms. I have not taken the type 
nearer than Llangollen, though stated by the Rev. W. W. 
Fowler to be the commonest of the genus; of the form 
alutaceus, Thoms, I have a few specimens from the 
Wallasey sandhills. 
Berosus afinis, Brullé. Local. Formerly abundant in 
the clay-pits behind Wavertree Park, but I have not met 
with a specimen for some time. Mr. Kinder took a few 
about Kirkdale. 
Limnebius truncatellus, Thunb. Crosby (fF. Archer) ; 
Moreton and Liscard (J.W.E.). 
Chetarthria seminulum, Payk. I have twice met with 
this species on the Wallasey sandhills. 
Helophorus nubilis, F. Crosby shore (F.K.). Mr. Archer 
took this species on Bidston Marsh, in November, 1862. 
Helophorus intermedius, Muls. Crosby, September (FP. 
Archer).
