VII. On Additions to the Atlantic Coleoptera. By T. 
Vernon Wottaston, M.A., F.L.S. 
In the following Paper I propose to notice such addi- 
tions to the ‘Coleoptera Atlantidum’ as have been 
brought to light (since the publication of that volume 
in 1865) up to the present date, 7. 6., to the close of 1870; 
and I would also take advantage of the opportunity thus 
afforded, to give such corrections in the general nomen- 
clature as may seem desirable, as well as to add occa- 
sional items of information (lately gleaned) when appear- 
ing of sufficient interest to be worth placing upon record. 
A few remarks, indeed, of that particular kind, together 
with the diagnosis of fowr actual novelties to the cata- 
logue, formed the subject-matter of a short Appendix to 
my ‘ Coleoptera Hesperidum’ in 1867; and these, there- 
fore, I must, however briefly, recapitulate, in order that 
the present memoir may include every correction and 
addition which it is necessary to take account of (so far, 
at least, as I am aware) since the ‘Coleoptera Altanti- 
dum’ made its appearance. 
The number of additions to the combined fauna of the 
three archipelagos (namely, the Madeiras, Salvages, and 
Canaries,) which I am enabled to record in this Paper is 
exactly thirty-three; but as two supposed species have 
been expunged from the Madeirian list, * the 1449 species 
which were cited in the ‘Coleoptera Altantidum,’ will 
be increased to 1480. The thirty-three accessions to 
the general catalogue are as follows :— 
Madeiras. Canaries. 
Stenolophus exiguus, Dej. 
Trechus debilis, W. : 
Scutopterus imbricatus, W. 
Eunectes helvolus, Kl. 
Ochthebius algicola, W. 
Philhydrus maritimus, Th. 
Acrotrichis brevicornis, Mots. . 
ovatula, Mots. 
Tarphius lutulentus, W. 
Meligethes Ryei, W. A 
Lemophleus suffusus, W. . 
M Mh Md 
* The two species which have been suppressed in the Madeirian list 
are Trechus quadricollis and Tarphius Wolff.
