1S67.] MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. 36? 



these two groups ; it is not, however, confined to them, as it has 

 since been brought from the Cape de Verde Islands. M. Drouet 

 has erroneously identified it with C, olivieri, Dej. 



2. Blechrus maurus, Sturm. 



Under stones in S. Miguel, not common. None of the examples 

 agree with the allied B. glabratus ; but this form will also not im- 

 probably occur. 



3. LiCINUS BREVICOLLIS, Dcj. 



Abundant on the sand-hills at Praya in Terceira. New to the 

 Atlantic fauna, but widely spread in the Mediterranean district. Its 

 localization suggests that it may be a ballast importation. 



4. Pristonychus complanatus, Dej. 



Universal in the various Atlantic islands, including even St. He- 

 lena, and common also in parts of South Europe. Specimens are 

 before me from S. Miguel and Flores ; but M. Drouet records it 

 from all the islands. 



5. Calathus flavipes, Payk. (fulvipes, Gyll.). 



Recorded by M. Drouet from all the islands. There is nothing 

 in Mr. Grodman's material at all resembling it. 



C. C. MOLLIS, Marsh. 



One specimen from the borders of the Lagoa das Furnas, S. 

 Miguel. M. Drouet records it also from Pico, saying that it is 

 common under stones near the sea. The single specimen before me 

 differs a little from the English form, being larger and with the 

 elytra more deeply striate. The occurrence of two Eurojjcan spe- 

 cies only of a genus which almost seems characteristic of the Cana- 

 ries and IMadeiva is very remarkable. 



7. Anchomenus aptinoides, Tarnier. 



I have not seen this species, described on a unique specimen by 

 M. Tarnier. It would appear to be aUied to A. nichollsii, WoU., 

 from the Canaries. 



8. A. ALBiPES, Fabr. 



Common in damp places in S. Miguel. Also not rare in Madeira ; 

 but in the Canaries it is confined to Fuerteventura. 



9. A. MARGINATUM, Linn. 



IMargins of the Lagoa das Furnas, S. Miguel, common ; M. 

 Drouet adds Terceira. It is common in both the other Atlantic 

 groups. 



10. A. PAiiUMPUNCTATus, Fabr. 



New to the Atlantic fauna. It is not rare in S. Miguel, and also 

 {iesfe Urouet) in Fayal and Terceira.
