(Sp. 369) Prostheca aspera. 
Hitherto this interesting little insect has been known 
only from the single example which was captured, about 
ten years ago, by the late Mr. Bewicke, at the Quinta da 
Palmeira, above Funchal; and I was glad, therefore, 
during our late sojourn in Madeira, to meet with a 
second. It was taken from beneath the loosened bark 
of a felled tree in the garden of the Quinta dos Jasmi- 
neiros, on the western outskirts of Funchal; so that I 
was probably mistaken in my conjecture (vide Col. Atl. 
128) that the species would be found to be of Huphorbia- 
infesting habits. 
Fam. CUCUJIDAi.

After species 379, add :— 
Lemophleus suffusus, n. sp. 
L. linearis, depressus, subopacus, sericeo-pubescens, 
ferrugineus sed in elytris (humeris exceptis) obscuriori- 
bus; capite prothoraceque grosse sed haud dense punc- 
tatis, illo vix canaliculato, fronte a clypeo (antice recte 
truncato) haud divisa, oculis prominentibus, hoc longius- 
culo postice angustiore angulis posticis fere subrotundatis ; 
coleopteris argute tenuiter striatis, strid sublaterali costi- 
formi; antennis brevibus, robustis, submoniliformibus. 
Long. corp. lin. 1. 
Hab.—Maderenses (Mad.); exemplar unicum olim cepit 
Dom. Bewicke. 
Obs.—Lemophleus colore subobscuro elytris (humeris 
exceptis) paulo obscurioribus necnon antennis brevibus 
robustis moniliformibus S. awillari affinis, sed paulo minor, 
sub-brevior, evidenter minus angustatus, magis depressus 
species, although generally scarce, universal throughout that particular 
region; the T. lawri and nodosus in considerable numbers, the compactus 
and tmornatus, both of them more sparingly, the minute 7’. Lowei, abun- 
dant (in company with the Acalles Wollastoni) amongst lichen on the 
trunks of various trees, the small, rounded T. sylvicola, by sifting fallen 
leaves and sticks at an elevation of about from 3000 to 4000 feet, the T. 
rotundatus, though not commonly, two examples of the rare and elegant 
T. formosus, and one of the equally scarce 7’. angustulus.
