10 MADEIRAN COLEOPTERA. 
other points in which Elliptosoma disagrees with the typical Loriceree 
may be readily gathered by a reference to that work. 
17. Elliptosoma Wollastonii. 
Loricera Wollastonii, Javet, Bull. de la Soc. Ent. de France (2itme 
série), x. 23 (1852). 
, Woll., Ins. Mad. 19. tab. 1. f. 2 (1854). 


Inhabits the damp sylvan districts of Madeira proper, between the 
limits of about 2500 and 5000 feet above the sea. Rare. 
Genus 9. EURYGNATHUS. 
Wollaston, Ins. Mad. 20. tab. 1. f. 1 et 3 (1854). 
18. Eurygnathus Latreillei. 
Licinus Latreillei, Laporte, Etud. Ent. 1. 85 (1854), 
, Casteln., Hist. Nat. des Ins. Col. i. tab. 8. f. 9 (1840). 
Eurygnathus Latreillei, Woll., Ins. Mad. 21. tab. 1. f. 1 et 3 (1854). 


Inhabits Porto Santo (as well as the Uheo de Baixo, adjoining it) 
and the Dezerta Grande, occurring beneath stones during the spring 
and early summer months. On the Dezerta Grande it assumes a 
distinct variety, both in outline and size.

Genus 10. ZARGUS. 
Wollaston, Ins. Mad. 22. tab. 1. f. 4, 5 et 6 (1854). 
Although disagreeing, in many of its most important structural 
features, with the members of both the Chleniidea and Pterosti- 
chidea, of the Harpalides, 1 am inclined to think that the present 
genus (from its close affinity with Calathus) is more naturally placed 
at the commencement of the latter, than (as located in the Jnsecta 
Maderensia) at the end of the former, of those subdivisions. And I 
am further confirmed in this opinion, through a notet lately com- 
municated to me by Dr. Schaum of Berlin, who has been paying con- 
siderable attention to the generic details of the Carabide. 
+ “Your genus Zargus,” observes Dr. Schaum, in a letter recently received, 
“is very interesting : its lower lip is that of a Troncatipenn, as you pointed out, 
whilst it clearly belongs to Calathus, Anchomenus, &c. From the Chlenii it 
differs in the clothing of its male feet,—the essential character of that group.”
