72 MADEIRAN COLEOPTERA, 
bright rufo-testaceous ; the margin also, and extreme apex, diluted 
in hue. Limbs pale-testaceous,—being somewhat paler (and slen- 
derer) than those of the Z. pictus. 
The present insect (which is new to our fauna) and the following 
one belong to precisely the same type of form,—distinguished from 
the European ZL. bifasciatus by (inter alia) their more elliptical, 
pilose bodies, and basally truncated prothoraces: whilst the charac- 
ters which separate the ZL, pilosus from its Madeiran ally may be 
immediately gathered by a reference to the diagnosis given above. 
Of the species now under consideration two specimens only have 
hitherto come beneath my notice,—one of which was captured by 
myself, on the wing, in Mr. Phelps’s garden at the Carmo, during 
September 1855; and the other, taken likewise near Funchal (in a 
bone), has been recently communicated by Mr. M. Park.
