18G7.J MR. G. R. CROTCH ON AZOREAN COLEOPTERA. 3S I 



the P. cadaverina from Terceira and S. Miguel, but he evidently 

 means the present species. 



159. Trachyscelis aphodioides, Latr. 



One specimen only, on the sea-shore at Horta, Fayal. 



IGO. TriboliuiM FERRUGiNEUM, Fabr. 



Recorded by M. Drouet from Santa Maria ; it is a cosmopolitan 

 insect, and hence of little interest. 



IGl. Tenebrio obscurus, Fabr. 



In S. Miguel, Santa Maria, and Graclosa, in bake-houses &c. 



1G2. Alphitobius piceus, Oliv. 



One specimen, with the preceding, from S. Miguel. 



1G3. Anaspis (Silaria) proteus, WoU. 



Abundant on flowers at Fayal. M. Drouet records A. humeralis, 

 Fabr., from Santa Maria and S. Miguel ; but I feel no doubt that 

 he alludes to this species, which swarms in Madeira and the Canaries, 

 and is very closely allied to a South European form, if not identical 

 with it. 



164. Anthicus floralis, L. 



One specimen of this common insect has occurred in Faynl. 



1C5. A. HUMiLis, Laf. 



Not rare round the lake at Praya, Terceira. 



1G6. A. HispiDUS, Rossi. 



Under refuse in S. Miguel and Flores. 



1G7. Falagria obscura, Grav. 



Not common, but found in S. Miguel, Fayal, and Santa Maria. 



168. Aleochara nitida, Grav. 



Abundant in dung in S. Miguel, Terceira, Fayal, and Flores. 



169. A. puberula, Klug. 



Only one specimen, from dung in Fayal. 



170. HOMALOTA obliquepunctata, Woll. 



Several specimens, from the margins of the Lagoa das Farnas. It 

 agrees almost exactly with the Madeiran specimens ; but the oblique 

 markings are less evident. 



171. H. LURiDiPENNis, iNIauuh. 



One specimen, taken near the Furnas in S. Miguel.
