248 Mr. T. Vernon Wollaston on 
Motschoulsky,—being unwilling to burden the Atlantic 
list with (to say the least) exceedingly doubtful addi- 
tions in this rather obscure and insignificant group, and 
because his diagnoses appear to me fully to warrant the 
conclusions at which I have arrived. 
If we except the C. crenicollis, which I admitted into 
the catalogue in 1854 on the evidence afforded by a 
single and somewhat unsatisfactory individual which was 
identified with that species about twenty years ago by 
Motschoulsky, and which (in the absence of the specimen 
itself for a re-examination) I cannot but suspect may per- 
haps prove to be but an accidental variety of the C. fulva 
(as now separated from the ciliata), the Madeiran Corti- 
carie, so far as I am acquainted with them, are remark- 
ably well-defined, and (1 will further add) may be cited 
in the following order :— 
A. Prothorax ad latera crenulatus.—pubescens, Gyll.; 
ciliata, Mots.; fulva, Mann.; (?) ecrenicollis, Mann. ; ma- 
culosa, Woll.; fagi, Woll.; serrata, Payk ; inconspicua, 
Woll. 
B. Prothorax ad latera vel omnino vel fere simplex.— 
transversalis, Gyll.; rotundicollis, Woll.; curta, Woll. 
p. 148. After species 422, add :— 
Corticaria ciliata. 
C. ovali-oblonga, convexa, subnitida, aut rufo- aut fusco- 
testacea (antennis pedibusque paulo dilutioribus), longe 
tulvo-pilosa; capite prothoraceque grosse punctatis, hoc 
transverso, ad latera rugose crenulato, pone discum fovea 
media rotundata sed haud profunda impresso; elytris 
paulo ventricosis, profunde sed subconfuse substriato- 
punctatis, interstitiis obsoletissime subconvexis. 
Long. corp. lin. 3-1. 
Corticaria fulva, (pars), Woll. [nec Mann. 1844], Ins. 
Mad. 185 (1854); Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 65 (1857); Id.,
