APPENDIX. 39 



A Madeiran species which was first detected by Mr. E. Leacock, 

 at a low elevation, in his garden at the Quinta de Sao Joao, near 

 Funchal ; and which was subsequently found by the late Mr. Bewicke, 

 amongst some old wood in a shed (or out-house) at the Praia Formosa, 

 as well as at the Uuinta da Palmeira. The characters which separate 

 it from its two Canarian allies will readily be gathered both from 

 the diagnosis and from the observations which I have already given. 

 Suffice it therefore to add that the very coarsely mucronated anterior 

 region of its prothorax, and the fact of the retuse apex of its elytra 

 having the central part of the raised suture greatly thickened, ele- 

 vated, and conspicuously bipartite, are amongst the most important 

 of the features which serve to characterize it.

 compiled were captured by the Messrs. Crotch, during the summer of
