132 MADEIRAN COLEOPTERA. 
391. Longitarsus consanguineus, n. sp. 
L. clongato-ovatus convexus nitidissimus et obsoletissime punctu- 
latus, capite, prothorace, antennarum basi pedibusque omnibus 
rufo-testaccis, elytris atris, ad apicem subacuminatis pallidis. 
Long. corp. lin. 14-12. 
L. closely allied to the Z. Cinerarie, but (on the average) a little 
larger and less strictly ovate,—being more produced, or acumi- 
nated, behind; also, perhaps, a little more perceptibly punctu- 
lated. Head, prothorax, base of antenne, and all the legs rufo- 
testaceous,—the feet alone, together with the apical portion of the 
antenne, being infuscated. Hlytra deep black, except the hinder 
region, which is more or less pale-testaceous, and is more acumi- 
nated than in the L. Cinerariw. Body beneath rufo-testaceous, the 
meso- and meta-sterna and the base of the abdomen being more or 
less clouded, or dusky. 
Whether the present insect be more than an extreme modification 
of the LZ. Cinerarie, I will not undertake to pronounce for certain ; 
nevertheless since it is so conspicuously distinguished prima facie by 
its somewhat more posteriorly-acuminated outline and the pale apex 
of its elytra, as well as by all its legs, and the whole of its under- 
surface, being more or less brightly testaceous, I think we have 
scarcely sufficient reason (in the absence of intermediate states) for 
uniting it with that species; and I have therefore described it as 
distinct. Like it, it would seem to be attached to the flowers of the 
Cineraria aurita, from whence I first obtained specimens (on the 
4th of August 1855) amongst the clusters of the plant with which 
the rocks of the Encumeado of Sao Vincente (in Madeira proper) 
abound: and I subsequently captured others at the Ribeiro Frio 
and in the Ribeiro de Sao Jorge.
