As in the case of the following species, a rather wider 
range has been ascertained for the present Attalus than 
what was indicated in the ‘ Coleoptera Atlantidum.’ 
Until recently it had been observed only on the low 
sea-cliffs to the westward of Funchal; but during our 
late sojourn in Madeira we met with it (in company. with 
the Pecteropus rostratus), amongst flowers, on the Ponta 
de Sio Lourenco; and I also perceive that a single 
example of it has been mixed up with my series of the 
Pecteropus rostratus which I collected in Porto Santo 
about twenty years ago. Hence it would seem to have 
much the same range, and habit, as that insect; for we 
may expect that it will be found to occur (at an equally 
low elevation) on the Desertas likewise. Apart from 
minor differences, it may readily be known from the P. 
maderensis, to which in outline and general aspect it is 
much allied, and which is peculiar to the higher alti- 
tudes of the Madeiran Group, by its more densely 
roughened and less shining surface, as well as by its 
flatter head, and by its slenderer and less pallid limbs. 
The following brief entry will suffice to place on record 
its more extended range—as lately ascertained.

(Sp. 574) Pecteropus rostratus. 
In the ‘ Coleoptera Atlantidum’ I stated that this in- 
sect has been observed only in Porto Santo, and on the 
two southern Desertas; but during our late visit to
