Atlantic Coleoptera. 291 
angustior, necnon forsan pallidior, capite sensim angus- 
tiore minusque quadrato. 
Hab.—Canarienses (Lanz., Ten., Gom.), sed “ var. 8B” 
Maderensibus (Mad.) pertinet; inter lapillos ad margines 
aquarum velocissime cursitans. 
The species would appear to possess a wide Atlantic 
range, having been cited also by Mr. Crotch from the 
Azores. 
(Sp. 1279) Homalota subsericea. 
Judging from a single type of this Homalota which I 
sent to Dr. Sharp, he is inclined to suspect that the species 
is not distinguishable from the European H. sericea, Muls. : 
in all probability, therefore, the title “ subsericea” will 
have eventually to give way. 
(Sp. 1286) Homalota aleocharoides. 
This will probably prove to be identical with the some- 
what variable H. clientula. At any rate a single example 
which has been examined by Dr. Sharp was thought by 
him to be scarcely separable from that widely-spread 
species. 
(Sp. 1289) Homalota canariensis. 
«A very distinct species,” according to Dr. Sharp— 
who adds that ‘‘its place is in the H. plana group” of 
his arrangement. 
(Sp. 1290) Homalota insignis. 
«A distinct species, of the merdaria group,” according 
to Dr. Sharp—who likewise informs me that the nearly- 
allied H. lta, of the Canarian archipelago, appears to him 
(although closely resembling the Madeiran insignis) to 
be separable from it. 
(Sp. 1296) Homalota cacti. 
Concerning this Canarian Homalota Dr. Sharp says— 
“It is a species unknown to me, and one which should 
be placed near the trinotata of Kraatz.”
