INSECTA MADERENSIA. 185 



■what scarce, though taken occasionally near Funchal, from whence I possess 

 specimens captured by the Rev. R. T. Lowe and Mr. Leacock : and several 

 examples have been recently communicated to me by M. Dohrn of Stettin, which 

 are stated to have been collected by M. Hartung from Boleti growing on the 

 trunks of the native laurels. 



147. Corticaria crenicollis. 



C. elongato-ovata antice siibacuminata, fulvo-ferruginea, capite prothoraceque granulatis (sed vk, 

 prajsertim illo, punctatis), hoc ad latera leviter crenulato, fovea postmedia rotundata profunda 

 impresso, elytris substriato-punctatis, antenuis pedibusque vix pallidioribus.

C. elongate-ovate, and rather acuminated anteriorly, bright fulvo-ferruginous, and sparingly pubes- 

 cent. Head and prothorax almost opake, and very distinctly granulated : the former with 

 scarcely any indications of additional punctures intermixed : the latter with them most obscurely 

 develo]3ed,— merely imparting to its surface a rather rugose or wi-inkled appearance ; with the 

 edges rounded and obscurely crenulated (though rather more evidently so behind than in front) ; 

 the postmedial fovea well-defined and exceedingly deep. Elytra rather shining; and substriate- 

 punctate. Antenna: and legs almost concolorous with, or a little paler than, the rest of the surface. 



At once known from the other Madeiran Corticarlce by its rather anteriorly- 

 subacuminated outline and pallid hue, by its somewhat shining elytra, and liy the 

 very distinctly granulated sm-face of its head and prothorax,— the former of which 

 is almost entirely free from larger additional punctures, whilst even the latter (the 

 hinder fovea of which is excessively deeply impressed, but the sides only obscm*ely 

 crenulated) has them but imperfectly developed. It is very probably an imported 

 insect into Madeira, the single example on which its admission into the Fatma 

 rests having been captm-ed by myseK in the garden of the Quinta d'Ambrosio, near 

 Funchal, during the winter of 1848. It is stated by Mannerheim to be common in 

 Finland and France. 



148. Corticaria fulva. 



C. elongato-ovata magis pubescens fulvo-ferruginea, capite prothoraceque valde profunde punctatis, 

 hoc ad latera crenulato, fovei postmedia rotundata minus profunda impresso, elytris substriato- 

 punctatis, antennis pedibusque vix pallidioribus.
