the cultivated districts. 
Genus 151. BLABINOTUS.

376. Biabinotus spinicollis. 
Blabinotus spinicollis, Woll., Ins. Mad. 426. tab, ix. f. 1 (1854). 
Inhabits the sylvan districts of Madeira proper, occurring beneath 
the loosened bark of trees, and in rotten wood, at intermediate and 
lofty elevations. 
377. Blabinotus Bewickii, n. sp. 
B. subcylindricus rufo-piceus cinereo-pubescens, prothorace subsequo 
densissime punctulato ad latera spina media instructo, elytris 
dense ruguloso-punctatis, tuberculisque obscuris remotis subglabris 
irroratis, oculis intus valde emarginatis. 
Long. corp. lin. 6-64. 
B. narrow, linear-elongate and subeylindrical, being of the same 
form as the B. spinicollis ; but of a much paler and more rufescent 
hue, and with a less admixture of erect additional hairs on its 
(finely pubescent) surface. yes larger than, and not so promi- 
nent as, those of that insect, and very much more emarginated 
along their inner edge. Antenne as in the last species, but not 
quite so hirsute, and with their third joint distinctly shorter than 
the fourth. Head and prothorax closely punctulated: the former 
more constricted behind the eyes than in the B. spinicollis: the 
latter with the sides produced into a robust central tooth ; its upper 
surface nearly even, there being no appearance of tubercles on the 
disk ; and with its anterior margin a little thickened (but not ele- 
vated). Limbs of a rather clearer, or more rufescent, tint than 
the rest of the surface. Anterior tarst broader, or more expanded, 
than those of the spinicollis, and the hinder ones longer,—their 
basal joint, especially, being more produced. 
So remarkably does the present species, in external contour and 
aspect, assimilate the last, that I have not hesitated to refer it to the 
same genus ; nevertheless it must be admitted, that in the construc- 
tion of its eyes and feet, as well as in the comparatively shortened
