(Sp. 78) Calathus advena. 
It appears from the Baron Harold’s recently published 
Catalogue, that the specific title of this insect must be 
changed,—Leconte (Ann. Lye. iv. 217) having cited a 
Pristodactyla advena in 1846, and the genus Pristodactyla 
being now by universal consent united with Calathus. 
Indeed the author has himself made the alteration 
already, by proposing for it the unfortunately inappro- 
priate name of canariensis ; so that the synonymy of the 
species will stand as follows :— 
Calathus canariensis. 
Calathus advena, Woll. [nec Lec. 1846], Ann. Nat.

p. 48 (genus STENOLOPHUS) . 
Whilst residing at S. Antonio da Serra (at an eleva- 
tion of about 2,000 feet), during our late sojourn in Ma- 
deira, I met with seven or eight individuals of the 
European S. exiguus, by sifting fallen leaves in the httle 
wood (near to the church) known as the “ Circa;” and 
on our return to England I found that there were two 
examples of the same species in the collection of the late 
Mr. Bewicke, which (having been placed amongst his 
series of the Bradycellus excultus) had escaped our notice. 
Hence, although only now for the first time added to the 
fauna (though it is recorded by Mr. Crotch as having 
been taken in 8. Miguel and Terceira, at the Azores), 
Mr. Bewicke claims the priority of capture. Judging 
from the examples before me, the Madeiran ones would 
seem to belong principally to the more pallid state (in 
which the prothorax and suture are appreciably rufes- 
cent, or diluted in hue) which has occasionally, in more 
northern latitudes, been regarded as a distinct species
