APPENDIX. 9 



Calathus coinplanatus (p.), Woll., Cat. Mad Col. 11 (1857). 

 fimbriatus, Id., Ann. Nat. Hist. i. 18 (1858). 



Habitat in Portu Sancto, sub lapidibus vulgatissimus. 



Calathus laureticola, n. sp. 



C. fusco-piceus, elongatus, depressus; prothorace subquadrato, ad 

 latcra late subrecurvo ; elytris linea basali in utroque fere recta, 

 striatis, interstitio tertio punctis 2 vel 3 (saepius 2) notato ; antennis 

 pedibusque rufo-testaceis. Long. corp. lin. 6-6. 



Mas omnino (sed praesertim in capite prothoraceque) subnitidus ; uir 

 terstitiis subconvexis ; tibiis posterioribus intus dense fimbriatis. 



Foem. capite prothoraceque subopacis, elytris opacis; interstitiis 

 valde depressis ; tibiis simplicibus. 



Habitat in lauretis GomeraB editioribus, a DD. Crotch lectus. 



A noble Calathus which was detected by the Messrs. Crotch, 

 during their late Canarian researches, at a high elevation, in the 

 sylvan regions of Gomera (" above the cataract, under Moritc 

 Fuerte "), where it appears to be tolerably common. The densely 

 fimbriated posterior tibiae of its male sex immediately assign it to 

 the second of the Sections under which I have distributed the At- 

 lantic species; and I think perhaps that in the generality of its 

 characters it is more in accordance with the C. a/ppemliculatus, from 

 Grand Canary, than with any of the remainder ; nevertheless the 

 peculiar sexual differences of that insect (the males of which are 

 entirely bright, whilst the females have their protliorax and elytra 

 opake), combined with the rather more numerous punctures on its 

 third elytral interstice, and other minor features (which will be 

 readily gathered from its diagnosis), will at once separate it from 

 its Gomeran ally. 



Genus PTEROSTICHUS, Auct. 

 (Subgenus Haptoderus, Chaud.) 



Pterostichus calathiformis, n. sp. 



P. elongato-oblongus, gracilis, laete rufo-piceus, subnitidus; pro- 

 thorace paulo rufescentiore, subquadrato (antice et postice sub- 

 sequaliter vix angustiore), angulis posticis subrectis, per marginem 

 posticum sinuato, basi utrinque leviter impresso; elytris antice 

 subdepressis, (saltern in fcemineo) tenuissime striatis subalutaceis, 

 linea basali (inter humeros et scutellum) valde arcuata ; antennis 

 pedibusque gracilibus, clare rufo-ferrugineis ; tibiis in utroque 

 sexu simplicibus. Long. corp. lin. 4-4|. 



Habitat Gomeram, in lauretis humidis excelsis a DD. Crotch captus.
