Mr. T. V. Wollaston on Additions to Madeiran Coleoptera. 105 



from pubescence — the first and second being also subopake, and 

 densely, roughly, but not very decidedly punctured : the first 

 roundish-oblong; the second a little more rufescent than the 

 head, being strictly rw/b-ferruginous ; the third a little less opake, 

 more deeply, distinctly, and less closely punctured, and (toge- 

 ther with the antenna) of a dull diluted-testaceous hue. Scu- 

 tellum rather larger than in the other Madeiran Sunii. Abdomen 

 pubescent. Legs pale testaceous, but infuscated in parts. 



The single specimen described above was captured, about two 

 years ago, by Mr. M. Park, near Funchal. As will be gathered 

 from the diagnosis, it dhTers from the other Madeiran Sunii in 

 many important particulars, though combining to a certain ex- 

 tent the characters of them both ; and, indeed, at first sight ijt 

 has somewhat the general aspect and colouring of the Mecogna- 

 thus Chimcera : nevertheless, apart from minor differences, its 

 comparatively immensely developed elytra and scutellum, and 

 less basally-constricted abdomen, will at once distinguish it from 

 that insect.

Genus Trogophixeus. 



Mannerheim, Brachel. 49 (1831). 



Trogophloeus ewilis, n. sp. 



T. angustus, niger, subnitidus ; capite prothoraceque minutissime, 

 creberrime et sequaliter subpunctulatis (an potius alutaceis ?), hoc 

 in disco postico obsolete longitudinaliter bi-impresso ; antennis 

 basi fusco-ferrugineis ; pedibus dilute testaceis.

T. minute, narrow, black or piceous-black, slightly shining, 

 and delicately pubescent. Head and prothorax most closely, 

 minutely, and equally subpunctulated all over, the punctules 

 being very indistinct, and scarcely separable from minute gra- 

 nules (so that, perhaps, the surface might be almost regarded as 

 subalutaceous instead of punctured) : the former less prominent 

 or thickened behind the eyes than in the T. corticinus, so that 

 the latter project sensibly beyond the hinder rim (which is 

 scarcely the case in that species) ; the latter of much the same 

 shape as in the T. corticinus and bilineatus, but with the longi- 

 tudinal fovese more obscure, being subobsolete. Elytra a trifle 

 more picescent than the head and prothorax, and a little more 

 evidently punctulated (though much more finely so than in the 

 other species). The basal half of the antenna dull brownish 

 ferruginous. Legs diluted testaceous.
