MADEIRAN COLEOPTERA, 133 
394, Longitarsus nervosus. 
Longitarsus nervosus, Woll., Ins, Mad, 447 (1854), 
Inhabits Madeira, Porto Santo, and the Dezerta Grande, occurring 
in similar places as the last species, 
395. Longitarsus nubigena. 
Longitarsus nubigena, Woll., Ins. Mad. 447 (1854). 
Inhabits Madeira proper, at intermediate and lofty altitudes. Rare. 
396. Longitarsus fractus, n. sp. 
L. elongato-ovatus nitidus saturate testaceus; capite, elytrorum 
sutura vittaque laterali fracté, femoribus posticis, necnon antennis 
apicem versus, nigris ; tibiis posticis usque ad apicem paulatim 
excurvatis, calcari majore armatis. 
Long. corp. lin. 12. 
ZL. eclongate-ovate, convex, shining, and of a diluted (or unequally 
infuscated) testaceous hue. Head and prothorax almost im- 
punctate: the former black, and with the eyes large. Hlytra rather 
deeply punctured ; and with a broad black band down the suture, 
which vanishes just before it reaches the apex ; and another, shorter 
one, which is interrupted (or broken) in the middle, at the outer 
margin of each. Antenne long, with the basal joint piceous, the 
sub-basal ones lurid-testaceous, and the remainder black. Legs 
lurid-testaceous, with the two hinder femora, the base of the four 
anterior ones, and the apices of the four anterior feet, more or less 
black. Hinder tibice gradually curved outwards, from the base to 
the extreme apex (causing them to be somewhat inwardly bent in 
their central region), and with their terminal spur much longer and 
more robust than in the Longitarst generally. 
A single example of the above very interesting Longitarsus, which 
agrees with the following one in its curved (though less robust) 
hinder tibise, and largely developed spur, but which assimilates more 
the lutescens in colouring—except that it is altogether darker, or more 
infuscated, and has, in addition to its very broad sutural band, an 
outer, interrupted dash at either lateral edge—was discovered by 
Mr. Bewicke at the Ribeiro Frio (in Madeira proper), and has been 
presented by him to the British Museum collection. 

397. Longitarsus excurvus, n. sp. 
LZ. oblongo-ovatus ‘enescenti-viridis vel subviridi-wenecus nitidus 
ubique profunde punctatus, pedibus infuscato-testaceis, femoribus 
posticis antennisque picescentibus, tibiis posticis robustis usque ad 
apicem paulatim excurvatis, caleari majore armatis.
