Show 382 MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. [Mar. 28, 172. H. LONGULA, Heer. Found, but very rarely, in the bed of a stream in Fayal. 173. H. ATRICILLA, Er. (FLAVIPES, Thorns.). One specimen, from the coast at Ponte Delgada, S. Miguel. This species is new to the Atlantic fauna, and is interesting as showing the wide distribution of these sea-weed infesting forms. 174. H. PUTRESCENTS, Woll. ? From Flores, under refuse. These are not in good condition; but appear to be near Mr. Wollaston's species. They will almost certainly prove to be European also. 175. IL, sp.? S. Miguel, under refuse. 176. H. CORIARIA, Kraatz? Three specimens, from S. Miguel. This and the preceding are both females, and I am unable to identify them satisfactorily. Both, however, appear to be European forms. 177. H. NIGRA, Kraatz? This little species, which is not rare in dung, appears to agree with the Canarian specimens referred to H. nigra, Kr., by Mr.Wollaston. 178. H. ATRAMENTARIA, Gyll. Not rare in dung in S. Miguel, Fayal, and Flores, and probably universal. 179. II. MELANARIA, Sahib. Abundant in dung in Terceira, Fayal, and S. Miguel. 180. XENOMMA MELANOCEPHALA, n. sp. Two specimens were obtained from the rubbish in S. Miguel. It is allied to the other Atlantic species, but is abundantly distinct from them. 181. HABROCERUS CAPILLARICORNIS, Grav. Two specimens, from vegetable refuse in S. Miguel. This would appear to be a remnant of the old laurel-fauna. 182. CONOSOMUS SERICEUS, Latr. (PUBESCENS, Payk.). A single mutilated specimen, from a Euphorbia-stem in Flores. 183. CREOPHILUS MAXILLOSUS, L. Local, but occasionally abundant in S. Miguel and Fayal. M. Drouet records it also from Flores and Graciosa. |
