Fam. HALTICIDJE. 



Genus LONGITARSUS. 



Latreille, Fam. Nat. des Ins. 405 (1825). 



Longitarsus maderensis. 



L. oblongo-ovatus, convexus, nitidus, subcyaneo-niger (interdum 

 obsoletissime subaenescens) ; antennarum basi pedibusque saturate 

 testaceis ; antennis ad apicem femoribusque posticis obscurioribus ; 

 prothorace subtiliter punctulato ; elytris ad humeros rotundate

Teinodactyla Maderensis, All. , Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France, 659 (1863) . 



Habitat Maderam, in cultis editioribus a Dom. F. A. Anderson re- 

 pertus. 



Detected by the late Mr. F. A. Anderson in Madeira proper, by 

 brushing some grass, immediately outside the gates of the Palheiro, 

 on the mountains to the eastward of Funchal. M. Allard, who de- 

 scribed the species from an example which I sent to him, makes the 

 following remark concerning its affinities : " Cette espece a la meme 

 taille et la forme que la T. obliterata Ros. ; mais elle s'en distingue 

 par sa couleur plus noire et plus brillante, par la ponctuation de son 

 corselet et de ses elytres beaucoup plus fine, et surtout par ses an- 

 tennes dont les articles sont beaucoup plus courts. Elle a de 1'ana- 

 logie avec la T. parvula Gyll., mais cette derniere a les epaules plus 

 larges et plus saillantes, et sa ponctuation, quoique a peu pres aussi 

 subtile, n'est pas en ligne a la base et pres la suture comme dans la 

 T. Maderensis" 



Genus PSYLLIODES. 

 Latreille, Fam. Nat. des Ins. 405 (1825). 



Psylliodes amplicollis, n. sp. 



P. subangustulo-elliptica, nitida, subaeneo-viridescenti-nigra, anten- 

 nis pedibusque piceo-ferrugineis ; antennis intra marginem oculo- 

 rum (sat parvorum) subremote insertis ; prothorace amplo, minute 

 punctato ; elytris ad humeros facile rotundatis (nee oblique trun- 



* Since the above was written, I have had some reason to suspect that the type 

 from which my diagnosis of the L. incomptus was compiled (but which unfortun- 

 ately has been returned to Paris, so that I cannot now re-examine it) may pos- 

 sibly have been but a very small and immature (female) specimen of the Atlantis 

 tibialis slightly aberrant, and perhaps obtained in the island of Hierro.
