Genus 206. DINODERUS. 

 Stephens, Man. Brit. Col 203 (1839). 



654. Dinoderus brmmeus. 



Dinoderus brunneus, WolL, Ann. Nat. Hist. ix. 440 (1862). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 253 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Palma), truncos Pini canariensis emor- 

 tuos in pinetis editioribus destruens. 



The Canarian representative of the D. substriatus of more northern 

 latitudes, being attached to the rotten wood of the Pinus canariensis 

 at intermediate and rather lofty elevations. Hitherto it has been 

 found only in Teneriffe and Palma ; but we may expect it to occur 

 wherever the ancient Finals still remain. 



Genus 207. RHIZOPERTHA. 

 Stephens, III. Brit. Ent. iii. 354 (1830). 



655. RMzopertha bifoveolata. 



Rhyzopertha bifoveolata, Wott., Ann. Nat. Hist. ii. 409 (1858). 

 Rhizopertha, Id., Append, huj. op. 39. 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), certe introducta; in urbe ipsa Fun- 

 chalensi inter farinam Americanam (?) a Dom. M. Park reperta. 



Perhaps this insect should scarcely be admitted into our Atlantic 

 Catalogue the only specimens hitherto detected having been found 

 by Mr. M. Park in a cask of (American ?) flour at the Funchal 

 custom-house, in Madeira proper. But as it was taken abundantly, 

 and since it is through the agency of commerce that numerous 

 insects become established in the islands (in like manner as they do 

 throughout the civilized world), possibly it should not be altogether 

 omitted even though an evident importation. It was in company 

 with the Adelina farinaria an insect equally foreign in its affinities, 

 and which has more of an American aspect about it than either a 

 European or an Atlantic one. 



656. Rhizopertha pusilla. 



Synodendron pusillum, Fab., Ent. Syst. v. (Suppl.) 156 (1798). 

 Rhyzopertha pusilla, Steph., III. Brit. Ent. iii. 354 (1830). 



, Woll, Ins. Mad. 287 (1854). 



1 Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 95 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in locis similibus ac praecedens et certe 

 introducta, sed in repository's Funchalensibus haud infrequens ; 

 in insulam farinariis radicibusque ex alienis invecta.
