The important genus Pterostichus has many representatives: _P. versicolor_, at Solihull, Sutton Park, and Cannock Chase; _P. lepidus_, Cannock Chase; _P. picimanus_ and _P. anthracinus_, Bewdley; _P. minor_, Coleshill and Cannock Chase; _Platyderus ruficollis_ seems to be generally distributed, but scarce. _Amara fulva_ may frequently be taken under stones in sandy places at Sutton Park, Cannock Chase, and Bewdley; _A. consularis_ at Sutton Park and Hopwas Wood; _A. spinipes_, at Dudley and Bewdley; _A. patricia_, Cannock Chase; _A. acuminata_, Sutton Park; _A. lunicollis_, Small Heath, Sutton, Cannock Chase, and Bewdley; _A. continua_, _A. communis_, and _A. ovata_, at Knowle, Coleshill, and Bewdley. _Badister sodalis_ is to be had at Dudley and Bewdley. All the species of Calathus occur, and _Taphria nivalis_, a closely allied beetle, turns up now and again, singly, at Small Heath, Knowle, Bewdley, and Trench Woods. The Anchomeni are fairly well represented, and it seems very likely that additional species may yet be added to our local list. The following may be selected as most worthy of notice: _Anchomenus oblongus_, Bewdley; _A. atratus_, Coleshill, Cannock Chase, and Bewdley. A single _Lebia chlorocephala_ was captured in hedge rubbish near Acock’s Green. _Dromius quadrisignatus_ is a Sutton Park species, being found rarely under bark of Oak trees. _Blechrus maurus_, which seems decidedly out of its reckoning in a Midland locality, has been taken at Bewdley and Leamington. All the species of Metabletus occur, and are pretty generally distributed. _Cymindis vaporariorum_ inhabits Cannock Chase, where it may be found lurking under the heather and loose stones, but is not abundant. In the same locality the curious _Miscodera arctica_ may, in some seasons, be met with in plenty. Two species of Chlænius occur, viz.: _C. vestitus_ at Bewdley, and _C. nigricornis_ at Cannock Chase. Of the extensive genus Harpalus, the following species may be cited, it being understood that several of the commoner forms exist here in great abundance. _H. puncticollis_, Dudley and Bewdley; _H. griseus_, Cannock Chase; _H. tardus_, Sutton Park and Bewdley. The pretty little _Acupalpus exiguus_ and v. _luridus_ may be obtained by searching the Sphagnum on the margin of Coleshill Pool. All the Bradycelli, except _B. placidus_ and _B. collaris_, are plentiful in the district, and in certain spots, such as Cannock Chase, they are extremely abundant. _Anisodactylus binotatus_ occurs on Cannock Chase, but is not often to be found.
