Description:Excerpt from The Entomologist's Monthly Magazine, 1906, Vol. 17 Lundy Island was first visited by a Coleopterist in June, 1844, when Mr. Wollaston stayed for five days on the island and collected sixty-five species (Zoologist, vol. iii, p. 897); among these were two of special interest, Psylliodes luridipennis, Kuts., and Ceuthorrhynchus contractus, v. pallipes, Crotch, two forms which had not occurred elsewhere. Wollaston again made an excursion to the island in July, 1845, stopping nearly a week, and adding eighty-eight species to his list (Zoologist, vol. v, p. 1753). In the Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. vi, p. 134, Mr. F. Smith gives a description of two short visits in August, 1864, in quest chiefly of Hymenoptera, enumerating eight more species of Coleoptera; and, again, in Ent. Mo. Mag., vol. xi, p 111, the same author records the capture in August, 1874, of twenty-two additional species, thus making a total of 183 species. I find, however, that Mr. Smith has made several mistakes in recording a species a second time, and Mr. Wollaston has marked some of his with a ?, so that the complete list should only amount to 164. Considering the shortness of the expeditions made by Wollaston and Smith, and the number and interest of their captures, it is surprising that there is no record of the island having been searched for Coleoptera during the last thirty years; and it was on this account that I determined to make a short stay there last August, hoping to add a few more species to the local list; nor was I disappointed, as out of 164 species collected in a little over two days ninety-seven are new to the list. One of these, Melanophthalma distinguenda, Com., has not before been recorded from Britain, and another I here describe as a new variety under the name Stenus ossium, v. insularis, var. n.
