108 Mr. T. V. Wollaston on Additions to Madeiran Coleoptera. 
Such are the additions to the fauna—49 in all (exclusive, of 
course, of the Apotomus Chaudoirit and the Chrysomela onychina, 
which are merely old species under new names)—which our 
combined researches have brought to light during the past year 
and a half in Madeira. As may be gathered. from the above 
statements, of these 49, 21* were detected by myself, 16 by 
Mr. Bewicke, 4 by Senhdér Moniz, 4 by Mr. M. Park, 3 by 
Mr. E. Leacock, and one by the Rev. R. T. Lowe; and it may 
be interesting to remark that the families into which these 
accessions distribute themselves are as follows :—-Staphylinide 13; 
Curculionide 8 ; Lathridiade 7 ; Colydiade and Tomicide 4 each ; 
Carabide 2; and Silphide, Trichopterygide, Mycetophagide, 
Dermestide, Bostrychide, Cisside, Attelabide, Bruchide, Halti- 
cide, Tenebrionide, and Opatride, 1 each. In my last paper on 
the additions to our Catalogue, written in October 1858, and pub- 
lished in the ‘ Annals’ for the following December, I brought 
up the list of then detected forms to 593; so that, when further 
augmented by the 49 of this present paper, the Madeiran 
Coleoptera, as hitherto observed, amount to no less than 642 
well-defined species. 
Before closing these remarks, I may just state that the names 
of the following 13 species, as cited in my last Catalogue, will 
have, in accordance with the law of priority, to be changed,— 
subsequent inquiries having proved them to be identical with 
species previously described. Thus, for Dromius arenicola Woll., 
read D. patruelis, Chaud.; for Pristonychus alatus, Woll., read 
P. complanatus, De}. ; for Anchomenus pallipes, Fab., read A. al- 
bipes, Fab. (the Carabus pallipes of the ‘ Mantissa Insectorum ’” 
being, as I am informed by Dr. Schaum, an American insect of 
the genus Tarus); for Harpalus litigiosus, Dej., read H. tene- 
brosus, Dej.; for Dactylosternum Rousseti, Woll., read D. abdo- 
minale, Fab.; for Monotoma spinifera, Woll., read M. spini- 
collis, Aubé; for Microchondrus domuum, Woll., read Symbiotes 
domuum, Woll. (the genus Microchondrus being identical with 
Redtenbacher’s Symbiotes) ; for Haltica subtilis, Woll., read H. 
procera, Redt.; for Haltica Salicarie, Payk., read H. ventralis, 
Illig.; for Longitarsus lutescens, Gyll., read L. atricapillus, Dufts.; 
for Longitarsus excurvus, Woll., read L. Echii, Meg.; for Glao- 
soma velox, Woll., read Moronillus ruficollis, Jacg.-Duy.; for 
Autocera laticeps, Woll., read Cnemeplatia laticeps, Woll.,—the 
genus Autocera being, according to Dr. Kraatz, identical with 
Cnemeplatia of Costa. 
* Of these 21, however, there are two which cannot strictly be called 
recent discoveries, although necessarily treated as additions to our fauna, 
—namely, the Longitarsus abdominalis (which I had inadvertently mixed 
up amongst my specimens of the L. nubigena, collected in 1855), and the 
Mycetoporus Johnsoni (which I had hitherto regarded as a mere state of 
the M. pronus).
