Atlantic Coleoptera. 289 
haligena is certainly distinct from that species,—differing 
in the punctation of the elytra, as well as in the other 
characters which I have already pointed out. 
(Sp. 1264) Homalota montivagans. 
This species has been identified by Dr. Sharp with the 
H. pulchra of Kraatz (Nat. der Ins. Deutsch. ii. 321; 
1858); but as my diagnosis was published a year before 
Kraatz’s, the title “montivagans” will clearly have the 
priority. I may mention that during our late sojourn in 
Madeira I took it sparingly (by sifting fallen leaves and 
refuse) at S. Antonio da Serra, on the eastern mountains 
of that island. 
(Sp. 1265) Homalota vagepunctata. 
A Canarian Homalota regarded as “a remarkably 
distinct species” by Dr. Sharp, and apparently somewhat 
akin to a British one which has lately been enunciated 
by Mr. Rye (nt. Month. Mag. vu. 6; 1870) under the 
name of H. Sharpi. 
(Sp. 1268) Homalota obliquepunctata. 
A Homalota (cited, also, lately, by Mr. Crotch, from 
the Azores) which Dr. Sharp identifies with the European 
HI. pavens, of Erichson; and the corrected synonymy of 
which will, in consequence, stand as follows :— 
Homalota pavens. 
Homalota pavens, Hrich., Kif. der Mark Brand. i. 689 
(1839). Homalota obliquepunctata, Woll., Ins. Mad. 549 
(1854) ; Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 174 (1857); Id., Col. Atl. 
461 (1865) ; Crotch, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 381 (1867). 
Hab.—Maderenses (Mad.); in intermediis per mar- 
gines aquarum, vel fluentium vel stagnantium, vulgaris. 
(Sp. 1269) Homalota amnicola. 
“A fine and distinct species, near to H. pavens and 
insecta.”’—Dr. Sharp.
