37G MIX. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOKEA>f COLKOI'TKRA. [Mar. 28, 



from ]\raclciran examples, communicated to me by Mr. Wollaston, by 

 llie form of the thorax, vYhicli in them is shghtly narrowed behind 

 and sinuate, whereas in this it is nearly quadrate ; but the punc- 

 tuation is nearly identical. 



102. DOLICHOSOMUS NOBILIS, 111. 



Probably universal, as Mr. Godman brought it from Tcrceira, S. 

 INIiguel, Fayal, Flores, and Corvo. M. Drouet also records it from 

 Santa Maria. Its occurrence is somewhat remarkable, since in Ma- 

 deira it is represented by the nearly allied D. illustris, Woll. 



103. OriLus MOLLIS, Linn. 



One specimen, from a house in Ponto Delgada, S. Miguel. M. 

 Drouet speaks of it as common. 



104. PtiNUS TESTACEUS, Oliv. 



Two specimens in the fowl-shed at Ilorta, Fayal. 



105. Mezium sulcatum, Fabr. 



In Terceira, Fayal, and Santa Maria, not rare. This species is 

 prol^ably universal, being very abundant in Madeira and the Cana- 

 ries, where it seems truly indigenous. , 



106. Anobium domesticum, Fourc. (striatum, Oliv.). 



Tcrceira and Santa INIaria, in houses. . M. Drouet says that it 

 occurs throughout the group. 



107. A. viLLOsuM, Brulle ? 



M. Drouet records A. tomentosnm as common throughout the 

 group, referring probably to the above Canarian species ; but I have 

 seen no specimens of it as yet. 



108. A. paniceum, Linn. 



From Flores only ; but doubtless universal in towns. 



lOf). Ptilinus pectinicornis, Linn. 



In houses at the Furnas and other places in S. Miguel, but clearly 

 introduced. 



110. Hylastes ater, Fabr. 



From pine trees at Ilorta, Fayal. New to the Atlantic fauna. 



111. Hylurgus ligniperda, Fabr. 

 ^Vith the preceding, but more abundant. 



112. ToMicus SAXESENi, Ratz. 



In abundance in one tree in S. Miguel. 



113. HYPObORUS Ficus, Er. 



Abundant in a dead fig-tree at Ilcrta, Fayal. This is evidently
