113. Pterostichus haligena. 



Pterostichus haligena, WolL, Journ. of Ent. i. 87 (1860). 

 Habitat Salvages (ins. majorem, borealem), sub lapidibus vulgaris. 



Common beneath stones on the Great Salvage, whence it has on 

 several occasions been received by the Baron Paiva. It is closely 

 related to the preceding species, but the characters which separate 

 it therefrom have been fully pointed out in my Canarian Catalogue 

 [vide p. 48, note]. 



(Subgenus Lyperus, Chaucl.) 



114. Pterostichus nigerrimus. 



Feronia nigerrima, Dej., Spec. Gen. des Col. iii. 291 (1828). 

 Pterostichus simplicipunctatus, Kollar, in litt. 

 Omaseus nigerrimus, WolL, Ins. Mad. 45 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 15 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in humidis inferioribus rarissimus. 



The P. nigerrimus of south-western Europe, which may perhaps 

 be but a geographical modification of the more northern aterri- 

 mus, occurs sparingly in Madeira proper (in swampy places around 

 Funchal) ; but it has not yet been detected in any of the other 

 islands. 



115. Pterostichus Wollastoni. 



Pterostichus Wollastoni, Heer, in litt. 



Omaseus Wollastoni, WolL, Ins. Mad. 46, tab. i. f. 9 (1854). 



f Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 15 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad., P to S* ), in subinferioribus rarissimus. 



Peculiar to the Madeiran Group where it occurs very rarely, at 

 rather low elevations, both in Madeira proper and Porto Santo. In 

 the former it has been taken principally on and near the Cabo 

 Garajao, or Brazen Head. 



(Subgenus Haptoderus, Chaud.) 



116. Pterostichus harpaloides. 



Pterostichus harpaloides, WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 50 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Hierro), in sylvaticis editioribus rarissimus. 



A Canarian species which appears to be peculiar to Hierro, where 

 moreover it is extremely scarce. The few examples which I have 

 ieen were captured by myself at a high elevation in the upper part
