Bradycellus excultus, Woll, Ins. Mad. 61, tab. ii. f. 4 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col 18 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in sylvaticis editioribus sat ranis. 



Inhabits the sylvan districts of Madeira proper, occurring spa- 

 ringly in damp spots of a rather high altitude. 



148. Bradycellus ventricosus. 



Bradycellus ventricosus, WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 61 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.\ in sylvaticis humidis parce occurrens. 



Clearly the representative at the Canaries of the Madeiran 

 B. excultus, though most distinct from it specifically. It occurs in 

 similar situations (within the sylvan districts at a rather high alti- 

 tude), but has been observed hitherto only in Teneriffe. 



Genus 41. TRECHICHUS. 



Leconte, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. x. 386 (1853). 



149. Trechickus fimicola. 



Trechus fimicolus, W6U., Ins. Mad, 63 (1854). 

 fimicola, Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 18 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), sub qnisquiliis in cultis hinc mde vulgaris. 



Observed hitherto only in Madeira proper, where it occurs, under 

 various kinds of refuse (chiefly in cultivated grounds), at low and 

 intermediate elevations. Its freedom from flexuose frontal furrows, 

 and an apicaUy -recurved sutural stria, will at once distinguish it 

 from the normal Trechi. 



150. Trechichus Jansonianus. 

 Trechus Jansonianus, WolL y Ann. Nat. Hist. i. 19 (1858). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), inter plantas a Dom. Mason ab insula 

 olim deportatas etiam in urbe Londinensi repertus. 



Likewise peculiar (apparently) to Madeira proper, being very 

 closely allied to the last species of which, indeed, it is barely pos- 

 sible that it may be some extreme local state. The history of its 

 discovery is rather a singular one it having been captured in 

 London, amongst the refuse which had accumulated around the 

 trunk of a Dragon-tree, and other plants, which had been brought 

 from Madeira by Mr. Mason. It was in tolerable abundance ; and
