748. Cmithorhynehus lineatotessellatus. 



Ceutorhynchus lineatotessellatus, WolL, Ins. Mad. 327 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 106 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), folia Sempervivi patince, Lowe, ad rapes 

 crescentis plerumque in subinferioribus erodens. 



Observed hitherto only in Madeira proper, where moreover it is 

 extremely scarce. It occurs principally at low elevations (at any 

 rate in the north of the island), and subsists on the fleshy leaves of 

 the Sempervivum patina, Lowe, the rosette-like plants of which 

 stud the faces of the perpendicular rocks, so conspicuously, in certain 

 districts. 



Genus 240. CffiLIODES. 

 Schonherr, Cure. Disp. Meth. 296 (1826). 



749. Cceliodes guttula. 



Curculio guttula, Fab., Ent. Syst. i. ii. 436 (1792). 



- fuliginosus, Mghm, Ent. Brit. 280 (1802). 



Cosliodes fuliginosus, Woll, Ins. Mad, 329 (1854). 



, Id., Cat. Mad. Col 106 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), forsan introductus; in cultis circa 

 urbem Funchalensem parcissime occurrens. 



This widely diffused European insect occurs very sparingly in 

 gardens and cultivated spots around Funchal in Madeira proper, 

 where most likely it has become established accidentally from higher 

 latitudes. 



Genus 241. MONONYX. 

 Brulle, in litt. 



750. Mononyx variegatus. 

 Mononyx variegatus, BrulU, in Webb et Berth. ( Col. ) 72, pi. i. f. 16 (1838). 



Habitat ins. Canarienses (sec. DD. Webb et Berthelot), mihi non 

 obvius. 



In my Canarian Catalogue I alluded to M. Brulle's Mononyx 

 variegatus in the " Introductory Remarks " only, it being utterly im- 

 possible even to conjecture the systematic position of a genus of 

 which there is no diagnosis on record. Still, since & figure is given 

 of it in MM. Webb and Berthelot's work, and it is barely possible 

 that M. Brulle may have intended to write " Mononychus" (which, 

 of course, is a well-known group) instead of Mononyx, I will ven-
