374 MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. [Mar. 28, 



Stephenslan name to designate this specieSj which, however, is pos- 

 terior to Erichson's by five years. 



80. SaPRINUS CiERULESCENS, Ent. H. (SEMIPUNCTATUS, Fab.). 



One specimen, from Ponte Delgada, S. Miguel, has been sent to 

 Mr. Godman since his return. M. Drouet records it from Terceira. 

 It is new to the Atlantic fauna. As the Fabrician insect was different 

 from Herbst's (whose name he quotes), it is impossible to retain the 

 name. 



81. S. SEMISTRIATUS, Scriba (nitidultjs, Fabr.). 



S. Miguel, Fayal, and Terceira ; also common throughout, accord- 

 ing to M. Drouet. Scriba's name has eleven years of priority over 

 that of Fabricius. 



82. S. APRiCARius, Er. 

 Abundant in Fayal, under dead fish. 



83. S. DIMIDIATUS, 111. 



Abundant with the preceding ; M. Drouet also records the species. 

 It must be very close to ^S". lobatus, Woll., if not identical with it. 



84. S. RUGiFRONs, Payk. 



"Under stones on the sea-shore in Terceira." — Brouet. I have 

 not seen any specimens of this species. 



85. Onthophagus taurus, Schreb. 



Common in all the islands, and affording a good example of the 

 rapid distribution of an insect in a congenial locality. 



86. O. VACCA, Fabr. 



One only, from Angra, Terceira. M. Drouet also records one. 



87. Aphodius granarius, L. 



S, Miguel, Terceira, and Fayal, abundant. 



88. A. LiviDus, Oliv. 



Not rare in Terceira and Fayal. 



89. PSAMMODIUS SABULOSUS, Muls. 



One specimen only, from Praya, Terceira ; probably, however, not 

 rare. 



90. P. PLicicoLLis, Er. 



New to the Atlantic fauna ; two specimens were taken at Horta, 

 Fayal. 



91. P. PORCICOLLIS, 111. 



iVbundant near Horta, Faya!^
