368 MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZORKAN COLEOPTERA. [Mar. 28, 



11. Pterostichus nigerrimus, Dej. 



Under stones on the sand-hills at Praya, Terceira, rare. It oc- 

 curs also in Madeira and South Europe, and is probably a race of 

 P. atevrimus, Hb. 



12. P. VERNALIS, Pz. 



New to the Atlantic fauna. M. Urouet records it from all the 

 islands; but I have only seen it from S. JNIigucl, where it ajipears 

 to be rare. 



13. AmARA TRIVIALIS, Gyll. 



S. Miguel and Flores ; but also in all the islands, according to M. 

 Drouet. This insect ranges over the whole northern hemisphere. 



14. Anisodactylus binotatus, Fabr. 



S. Miguel and Terceira. M. Drouet says that it occurs in all the 

 islands. 



15. Harpalus (Ophonus) rotundicollis, Fairm. 



Common at Angra, Terceira, and Santa Cruz i\\ Flores. i\L Drouet 

 records one specimen from S. Miguel. Previously one was known 

 from Madeira and one from the Salvages ; hence its occurrence in 

 some numbers is interesting. 



16. H. (PsEUDOPHONUs) RUFicoRNis, Fabr. 



This species abounds in S. Miguel under stones, also in the other 

 islands (Drouet). It is new, however, to tlie Atlantic fauna. 



17. H. (PsEUDOPHONUs) GRiSEUS, Panz. 



Found rarely with the preceding, of which I am disposed to con- 

 sider it a variety. The only two specimens I have seen are from 

 Terceira and Fayal respectively. They agree with undoubted Eu- 

 ropean specimens ; but I cannot think their separation justifiable. 



18. H. DISTINGUENDUS, DuftS. 



This common Madeira insect is probably universal in the Azores. 

 I have seen it from S. Miguel, Terceira, and Fayal. 



19. Stenolophus TEUTONUs, Sclirank. 



S. Miguel, Terceira, and Fayal. Probably universal, as in the 

 Canaries. 



20. S. (AcuPALPUs) BRUNNiPES, Stumi. 



Not uncommon in S. Miguel, Terceira, and Flores ; also in S. 

 Maria, according to M. Drouet. It takes the place of St. dorsalis, 

 which is common in Madeira and the Canaries, and of which I re- 

 gard it as a black variety. Its occurrence unmixed with the type 

 form is of considerable interest.
