New records of Norwegian Coleoptera II: Species new to the fauna and notes on some little known species. Fauna norv. Ser. B, 32,49-51. Melanotus erythropus (Gmelin, 1790), Apion sanguineum (Degeer, 1775) and Neosirocalus pyrrhorhynchus (Marsham, 1802) are reported new to the Norwegian fauna. Trogoxylon impressum (Comolli, 1837) is reported intercepted to Norway and registrated to oak-wood in a house. New faunal divisions are presented for Stenolophus mixtus (Herbst, 1784) and Coly dium elongatum (Fabricius, 1787). The occurrence of Hylastes angustatus <Herbst. 1793) is discussed. Additional finds of Agapanthia villosoviridescens (Degeer, 1775) and a new host plant is presented. Torstein Kvamme, Norwegian Forest Research Institute, p.a. Box 61, N-1432 As-NLH, Norway. Below are presented species, which not previo usly have been reported from Norway. In addi tion informations on some rare or little known species are discussed. The faunal codes are in ag reement with 0kland (1981), and the EIS-grid numbers are added in parenthesis. The nomenc lature follows Silfverberg (I979). SPECIES NEWTOTHE FAUNA Elateridae Melanotus erythropus (Gmelin, 1790) (rujipes Herbst, 1784). One male and three female were sampled from an about 4 m. tall Ulmus glabra Huds. at VE:Stavern (EIS: 19), 23. June 1981. M. erythropus is very similar to M. castanipes (Paykull, 1800), and was treated as one species by Lindroth (I960) and others. Lohse (I 976) concluded that they are two different species. Palm (1978) has studied the species in Sweden and found that M. erythropus is rare and probably restric ted to the southern and central parts of Sweden, while M. castanipes is widely distributed and com mon. Fig. I shows the distribution of M. castanipes in Norway. The Norwegian material of Melanotus needs an examination to check whether specimens of M. erythropus and M. castanipes have been mixed. Lyctidae Trogoxylon impressurn (Comolli, 1837). This south-palaearetic species was caught in great numbers at AK:Frogn, S0ndre Hallangen (EIS:28), 6. June 1983. The beetles swarmed in a summer cot tage, and appeared to have hatched from stems ofoak Fig. I.

A revision of the subgenus Erythrapion showed that former reports of A. sanguineum from Norway were based on misidentifications (Kvamme 1981). One Cerambycidae specimen of this species was found in a pit-fall trap Agapanthia villosoviridescens (Degeer, 1775). on the little island Skurvene in AAY:His0Y (EIS:6l, 4.
