186/.] MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. 371 



40. CORYTHOLOPHUS SUBL.EVIPENNIS, DuV. 



Four or five specimens, from flowers at Horta, Fayal. It seems 

 to agree sufficiently with the European species described by Duval, 

 and is like our common species, but paler and obsoletely punctate. 



41. Sericoderus lateralis, Gyll. 

 S. Miguel and Fayal, in refuse. 



42. Ptenidium apicale, Sturm. 



Fayal, in a shed, among feathers &c., with several other insects 

 of the same imported class. 



43. Phalacrus coruscus, Panz. 



One specimen, from Santa Maria. It occurs also in the Canaries, 

 but not in Madeira. 



44. P. (Olibrus) consimilis. Marsh. 



Abundant in S. Miguel and Fayal ; probably an introduced species. 



45. Carpophilus dimidiatus, Fabr. 



From decaying oranges near Ponte Delgada in S. Miguel. 



46. C. MUTILATUS, Fabr. 



Two specimens, with the preceding ; both seem nearly cosmopo- 

 litan. 



47. Meligethes incanus, Er. 



One, from flowers at Horta in Fayal. It was identified by M. 

 Brisout de Barneville with the above species ; and I think the M. 

 tristis of Mr. Wollaston's work must also be referred to it. 



48. NiTiDULA 4-pusTULATA, Fabr. 



One specimen, from Ponte Delgada, S. Miguel ; clearly intro- 

 duced. 



49. N. (Omosita) colon, L. 



In S. Miguel and Fayal, but always in the vicinity of towns. 



.OO. N. (Epur.ea) obsolkta, Fabr. 



S. Miguel, Terceira, and Fayal, under bark and refuse &c. In 

 comparison with INIadeiran specimens it would seem to be more 

 strongly punctured, and with the thorax just perceptibly more emar- 

 ginate in front. 



51. Monotoma 4-foveolata, Aube. 



In the fowl-shed at Horta, Fayal, abundantly. 



52. M. sPiNicoLLis, Aube. 

 Near Horta, Fayal, rarely.
