Atlantic Coleoptera. 277 
mediate elevations of Madeira. During our residence at 
“the Mount,” in January, February, and March of 1870, 
we met with it sparingly on that particular species of 
plant; and I subsequently captured it, under similar 
circumstances, though still more rarely, at S. Antonio 
da Serra. 
Fam. COCCINELLIDA. 
p. 377 (genus HEpracuna). 
Mr. G. R. Crotch, who is engaged just now in studying 
the Coccinellide, informs me that he believes my Canarian 
Hpilachna bella and 4-plagiata belong to the genus Platy- 
naspis, and that the 10-plagiata of the Madeiran and 
Canarian archipelagos is most likely referable to the 
genus Pharus,—beimg manifestly allied to the P. setulo- 
sus from Algeria. 
p. 878 (genus CoccrnELLa). 
I may just mention that two examples of the common 
European Coccinella mutabilis (so general in the Madeiran 
Group), and one of the well-nigh cosmopolitan C. 7-pune- 
tata, have lately been detected by myself amongst some 
specimens (in spirits-of-wine) which had been obtained 
by the Baron Paiva from the Great Salvage ; so that the 
very limited Coleopterous fauna of that small and remote 
island must be credited accordingly,
