both) with excessively long, povrected, yellowish hairs. Pro- 

 thorax sparingly beset with erect, but much finer and less yel- 

 low, hairs ; brightly polished behind, where it is most minutely 

 and remotely punctulatcd, and much roughened in front (espe- 

 cially towards the sides) with coarse tubercles and points. Ely- 

 tra paler at the base (where they arc more or less piceo-testa- 

 ceous) than the head and prothorax ; less shining than the hinder 

 part of the prothorax, and more densely clothed with a fine, 

 decumbent, sericeous, yellowish pile ; rather deeply subseriate- 

 punctate (the punctures, however, although large, becoming 

 shallower anteriorly) ; obliquely truncated towards the apex, but 

 not very abruptly so, and with a small tubercle on either side of 

 the truncated portion at about the middle of the margin, and 

 with the suture (particularly in the centre) much elevated and 

 divaricate. Limbs more or less piceo-testaceous, the tibice and 

 antennal club being usually a good deal obscured. 



As already stated, the above insect very nearly resembles the 

 species which I have in my collection under the name of "Apaie 

 Chevrierii, Villa/' It is, however, rather larger ; and its elytra 

 arc more coarsely punctured (especially behind), and have then- 

 truncated portion much less abrupt, and the suture very distinctly 

 raised only in the centre of this truncation, where, moreover, it 

 is divaricate. A single example of it was detected in Madeira, 

 by Mr. Edmund Leacock, in his garden at the Quinta de Sao 

 Joao, near Funchal ; several more were shortly afterwards found 

 by Mr. Bewicke amongst old logs of wood in a small shed 

 or out-house, at the Praia Formosa, and I have a specimen 

 (which, however, I have not yet very closely compared with the 

 Madeiran ones) captured by myself in the island of Palma, of 



the Canaries.
