268 Mr. T. Vernon Wollaston on 
de la Soc. Ent. de France, 498) in 1868 for the reception 
of a small blind Curculionid from Algeria and Sicily, is 
identical with my Madeiran and Canarian Tornewma,— 
his type however (CO. planidorsis) being specifically dis- 
tinct from both of the Atlantic ones. I need scarcely 
add, if this be the case, that the title of Torneuma, having 
been proposed in 1860, has of course the priority. 
p- 296 (genus Procas). 
(Sp. 822) Procas picipes. 
During our late sojourn in Madeira a single example of 
this rare European Curculionid was captured by my wife 
at “the Mount,” about 1700 feet above Funchal,— 
making the third which has hitherto been recorded from 
the Madeiran Group. Of the other two, the first was 
found by the late Mr. F. A. Anderson, at a high elevation, 
on the edges of the Great Curral, and the second by Mr. 
Bewicke—in his garden at the Quinta da Palmeira. 
p- 298 (genus Lixus). 
(Sp. 829) Lnwus rufitarsis. 
According to Desbrochers des Loges (Pet. Nouv. Ent. 
No. 10), the European and Madeiran L. rufitarsis of 
Schénherr’s work is in all probability a phasis of the 
widely spread Fabrician LD. filiformis. Still, as this re- 
quires corroboration, I shall not until further evidence 
has been adduced disturb the present synonymy. 
p- 304 (genus Hypera). 
According to a late revision of the Hypérides by M. G. 
Capiomont (Ann. de la Soc. Hnt. de France, vii. et vii. ; 
1867-68), the species of this group which I cited in the 
‘ Coleoptera Atlantidum’ enter more properly into the 
genus Phytonomus, as there separated (and distinguished) 
from Hypera proper; so that, for the future, they must 
be corrected accordingly. 
(Sp. 839) Hypera lunata. 
_ This Phytonomus is said by M. Capiomont to be not spe- 
cifically separable from the widely-spread P. fasciculatus ;
