Show 1867.] MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. 379 136. B. BREWERI, 11. Sp. Two specimens were taken by Mr. Brewer iu Santa Maria. 137. HYLOTRYPES BAJULUS, L. Several specimens, in and about houses at Ponte Delgada, S. Miguel. 138. CLYTUS 4-PUNCTATUS, Fabr. In a chestnut stump at Ponte Delgada, S. Miguel. It was accompanied by the variety C. griseus, where the ochreous pubescence is replaced by pale grey. The occurrence of this species here throws light on the question discussed by Mr. Wollaston as to its occurrence in the Canaries. It would appear not improbable that Mr. Webb did in reality obtain specimens either in Madeira or in the Canaries; but the C. webbii is obviously a mere variety of the type form. 139. GRACILIA PYGMAEA, Fabr. One specimen, in a house at Horta, Fayal. 140. TAENIOTES SCALARIS, Fabr. . This fine Brazilian species appears to have made good its position in these islands, where it does considerable damage to the fig-trees. It is most abundant in S. Miguel; but M. Drouet states that it occurs also in Fayal and Terceira. 141. LEPTURA, sp. ? This very European-looking Leptura was sent to Mr. Godman after his return, but arrived in so fragmentary a condition that it is almost impossible to identify it with certainty. It does not appear, however, to agree with any European species exactly. 142. HALTICA AMPELOPHAGA, Guer. Abundant on the vines in Santa Maria, but has b?en clearly introduced ; it is, however, curious that it should not have found its way to Madeira or the Canaries. 143. PSYLLIODES CHRYSOCEPHALA, L. Apparently nearly universal, being found in S. Miguel, Terceira, Faval, and Flores. It is also common in Madeira. 144. P. VEIIEMENS, Woll. Not rare in Fayal, and probably in the other islands also. It is very abundant in the other Atlantic groups. 145. COCCINELLA 7-PUNCTATA, L. One specimen only, from Santa Maria. 146. C. 11-PUNCTATA, L. From S. Miguel, Terceira, and Flores ; also in Santa Maria, according to Drouet. |
