1867.] MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOl'TERA. ^/f) 



92. p. c^t:sus, Pr. 



Several specimens, from Flores, Terceira, and Fayal. 



93. Trox scaber, L. 



Abundant in the fowl-shed at Horta, Fayal ; but clearly introduced. 

 In Madeira a single specimen only has been noticed. 



94. Heteroderes azoricus. Tarn, (atlanticus, Cand.). CPl 

 XXIII. fig. 2.) 



Very abundant under stones, and probably universal. I have seen 

 specimens from S. Miguel, Flores, Terceira, Fayal, and Corvo. M. 

 Drouet also records it from Santa Maria. Mr. E. W. Janson, to 

 whom I am indebted for a careful examination of this and the fol- 

 lowing ElateridcB, informs me that it is nearly allied to //. rufmi' 

 guhis, Gyll., of Brazil. This and the remaining Elateridce are en- 

 tirely new to the Atlantic fauna. 



95. jEolus melliculus, Cand. (moreleti, Tarn.). 



Mr. Janson informs me that the specimens taken by Mr. Godman 

 are not distinguishable from the original Dejeanian types of the above 

 South American species. It is very widely spread from Carthagena 

 to Buenos Ayres, according to Candeze. The .£". moreleti, Tarnier 

 (1860), is slightly different in coloration; but of the few specimens 

 before me no two are precisely alike. They were all taken at Horta, 

 Fayal, under dead weeds. 



96. MoNOCREPiDius posticus, Erichs. 



A single specimen taken by INIr. Godman in Fayal is referable, as 

 Mr. Janson informs me, to the above common Brazilian species. 



97. Elastrus dolosus, n. sp. 



One specimen only, in S. Miguel. This is probably the Ampedm, 

 sp. ?, of M. Drouet's catalogue. 



98. Melanotus DicHROus, Erichs.? 



Mr. Janson refers a single specimen taken in Santa Maria to this 

 South European species. • 



99. Athous obsoletus. 111. ? 



Three specimens taken in a garden at Ponte Delgada, S. Miguel, 

 appear to be identical with the above species, which is an inhabitant 

 of South Europe, and is new to the Atlantic fauna. 



100. Attalus miniatocollis, Tarnier. 



Terceira and Fayal, common on flowers. INI. Drouet records it 

 from Santa Maria. It is very closely allied to the Canarian A. rufi- 

 collis, Well. 



101. Malachius militaris, WoU. 



A single female specimen^ from flowers near the Furnas. It diff'ers
