Show 1867.J MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. 381 the P. cadaverina from Terceira and S. Miguel, but he evidently means the present species. 159. TRACHYSCELIS APHODIOIDES, Latr. One specimen only, on the sea-shore at Horta, Fayal. 160. TRIBOLIUM FERRUGINEUM, Fabr. Recorded by M. Drouet from Santa Maria ; it is a cosmopolitan insect, and hence of little interest. 161. T E N E B R I O OBSCURUS, Fabr. In S. Miguel, Santa Maria, and Graciosa, in bake-houses &c. 162. ALPHITOBIUS PICEUS, Oliv. One specimen, with the preceding, from S. Miguel. 163. ANASPIS (SILARIA) PROTEUS, Woll. Abundant on flowers at Fayal. M. Drouet records A. humeralis, Fabr., from Santa Maria and S. Miguel; but I feel no doubt that he alludes to this species, which swarms in Madeira and the Canaries, and is very closely allied to a South European form, if not identical with it. 164. ANTHICUS FLORALIS, L. One specimen of this common insect has occurred in Fayal. 165. A. HUMILIS, Laf. Not rare round the lake at Praya, Terceira. 166. A. HISPIDUS, Rossi. Under refuse in S. Miguel and Flores. 167. FALAGRIA OBSCURA, Grav. Not common, but found in S. Miguel, Fayal, and Santa Maria. 168. A L E O C H A R A NITIDA, Grav. Abundant in dung in S. Miguel, Terceira, Fayal, and Flores. 169. A. PUBERULA, Klug. Only one specimen, from dung in Fayal. 170. HOMALOTA OBLIQUE PUNCTATA, Woll. Several specimens, from the margins of the Lagoa das Farnas. It a°*rees almost exactly with the Madeiran specimens; but the oblique markings are less evident. 171. Hi LURIDIPENNIS, Mailllh. One specimen, taken near the Furnas in S. Miguel. |
