116 MADEIRAN COLEOPTERA. 
the smaller and more ovate specimens of the preceding one (which 
have, moreover, occasionally, a slightly enescent tinge); still, I be- 
lieve that it is truly distinct therefrom,—its somewhat more rounded 
shoulders and cylindrical prothorax, in conjunction with the much 
longer, denser, softer, and more erect additional pile with which it is 
beset, giving it a character which, when once seen, can scarcely be 
mistaken. 
339. Omias angustulus, n. sp. 
O. elongato-ovatus angustulus antice subacuminatus, pube cinerea 
robusta depressa tectus, prothorace profunde punctato, elytris 
punctato-striatis, pilis superadditis fere carentibus, antennis pedi- 
busque fusco-ferrugineis. 
Long. corp. lin, 2-21. 
O. elongate-ovate, rather narrow, somewhat acuminated anteriorly 
and rounded behind, brownish- or piceous-black, and densely 
clothed with a robust, decumbent, ashy or cinereous pubescence. 
Rostrum roughly punctured, and rather more narrowed at its apex 
than in either of the preceding species, and with the eyes perhaps 
a little less prominent. Prothorax deeply punctured; with the 
sides rounded ; and widest behind the middle. Hlytra less convex 
than in either of the foregoing species, also narrower and with the 
sides straighter, the broadest part being more strictly behind the 
middle; punctate-striated; almost free from any indication of 
longer additional hairs; and apparently only obscurely tessellated. 
Antenne and legs brownish-ferruginous, the former being the 
clearer of the two. 
The insect from which the above description has been drawn out 
it is impossible to identify with either of the preceding species,— 
possessing as it does peculiarities of outline and surface which can 
searcely be the result of any combination of the local influences to 
which it may have been exposed. Two specimens only have hitherto 
come beneath my notice,—one detected by myself, and the other 
(more recently) by Mr. Bewicke, on the mountains above Funchal.
