104 Mr. T. V. Wollaston on Additions to Madeiran Coleoptera. 
Genus Lirnocuartis. 
(Dejean) Boisd. et Lacord., Faun. Ent. des Env. de Paris, 
i, 431 (1835). 
Lithocharis brevipes, n. sp. 
L. fusco-picea, subopaca, densissime et subtilissime punctulata ; 
capite subtriangulari piceo-nigro, oculis parvulis; prothorace 
subquadrato ; elytris paulo magis fuscescentioribus ; antennis pe- 
dibusque infuscato-ferrugineis, illis graciusculis, tarsis brevibus. 
Long. corp. lin. vix 13. 
Habitat Maderam australem; in horto Bewickiano prope Funchal 
exemplar unicum deprehensi. 
L. like the ZL. ochracea, but rather smaller and narrower, more 
opake, still more closely and minutely punctulated all over, and 
more densely pubescent. Head not quite so black as in that 
species (or a trifle more piceous) ; also rather smaller, less con- 
vex, and more triangular, and with the eyes not nearly so large. 
Elytra somewhat browner, or more diluted, than the rest of 
the surface, and very densely pubescent. Limbs darker than 
in the LZ. ochracea: the antenne, also, more slender; and with 
‘the apical joint shorter, and less acuminated at its tip : and the 
legs more abbreviated, particularly the tarsi, which are (compa- 
ratively) very short. 
The present insect is a good deal allied to the European L. 
obsoleta ; nevertheless its rather shorter and more slender antennee 
(with their smaller terminal joint), together with its more tri- 
angular head and more piceous hue, and the less broadly dilated 
front tarsi of its male sex, will, apart from minor differences, at 
once separate it therefrom. Judging from the diagnosis, it 
seems quite distinct, in many points, from the ZL. obscurella, 
Erichs., from Sardinia, though in its general size and aspect it 
may possibly approach that species. The only specimen which 
I have as yet seen of it was captured by myself, during the spring 
of 1859, from beneath vegetable refuse, in Mr. Bewicke’s garden 
at the Palmeira, above Funchal. 
Genus Sunivs.
