Carpalimus bilineatus (by), Steph., Ill. Brit. Ent. vy. 324 (1832). 
Trogophloeus bilineatus, Erich., Kaf. der Mark Brand. i. 600 (1839). 
, td., Gen. et Spec. Staph. 806 (1859). 
T. black, slightly shining, and pubescent. Head and prothorax very 
densely, and rather deeply and rugosely, punctured: the latter 
subcordate, more roughly and coarsely punctured at either side, 
and with two longitudinal interrupted impressions on its hinder 
disk,—constituting four rather distinct fovee. Hlytra more 
coarsely, and rather less closely, punctured than the head and pro- 
thorax. Antenne long, and brownish-piceous ; their base, and the 
legs, rufo-testaceous. 


. Four specimens, from which the above description has been com- 
piled, were captured by myself (on the wing) in Funchal, during the 
summer of 1855. After a very careful comparison, I can see nothing 
in them sufficient to warrant their separation from the common Eu- 
ropean 7’. bilineatus ; and as such, I may add, they were named by 
Dr. Kraatz of Berlin. The species may be known, from the other 
Trogophle here enumerated, by its comparatively roughly and closely 
punctured head and prothorax, and by the four rather distinet fovez 
on the hinder disk of the latter,
