246 Mr. T. Vernon Wollaston on 
Madeira we took the S. bidentatus in profusion, from 
beneath the dead bark of Spanish-chestnut trees, at “ the 
Mount ”?—about 1700 feet above Funchal, the same 
locality in which the late Mr. Bewicke met with it 
(though more sparingly) a few years ago. The follow- 
ing entry into the catalogue will suffice to place on record 
the corrected synonymy of the species :— 
Silvanus bidentatus. 
Dermestes bidentatus, Fab., Ent. Syst. 1. 233 (1792). 
Silvanus unidentatus, Woll. [nec Oliv. 1790], Cat. Mad. 
Col. 538 (1857); Id., Col. Atl. 1385 (1865). 
Hab.—Maderenses (Mad.); in castanetis editioribus 
longe supra Funchal, sub cortice laxo emortuo, vulgaris. 
Fam. CRYPTOPHAGIDA. 
p. 136 (genus CrypropHAGus). 
(Sp. 890) Cryptophagus saginatus. 
Until our recent sojourn in Madeira I had seen but two 
examples of this common European Cryptophagus (taken 
by the late Mr. Bewicke near Funchal) from any of these 
Atlantic islands; but whilst residing at 8. Antonio da 
Serra, in the spring of 1870, we met with it abundantly, 
amongst decayed corn and refuse, in a granary adjoining 
the house in which we were living. In all probability, 
therefore, the species has become thoroughly established 
at Madeira,—having doubtless been introduced originally 
from some more northern country. 
After this species (No. 390), add :— 
Oryptophagus pilosus. 
C. subovali-oblongus, leviter convexus, ferrugineus, 
pube longiuscula depressi dense vestitus, grosse punc- 
tatus; prothorace ad latera paululum subzqualiter 
rotundato, crenulato, angulis posticis argute determi- 
natis sed paulo obtusis, dente anteriore retrorsum acuto, 
posteriore in medio sito. 
Long. corp. lin. 1-14.
