List of Goleoptera taken by Mr. Joseph Thomson on fhe Aflas Mountains^ 

 Morocco. By B. G. Nevinson, M.A., F.Z.S. 



This collection consists chiefly of species of the Heteromerous section of 

 the order, and, though a small one, contains some very interesting forms. 

 It is curious to observe that most of the species diS'er more or less front 

 the normal types, and that this difference is mostly in the direction of 

 smoothness of surface. Possibly this may be accounted for by the eleva- 

 tions at which the collection was formed (6 to 10,000 ft.). All the speci- 

 mens come from Glauvva and Amsmiz, the majority from the latter locality. 

 Number of specimens, 138, belonging to 31 species : — 

 Pachychila, Esch. 



AncjuUcollis, Fairm. 

 glabra, Stev. 

 Morica, Sol. 



Favieri, Luc. 

 planata, Fabr. 

 Ahis, Herbst. 



elegans, Charp. 

 Heydenii, Haag. 

 Scaurus, Fabr. 



sticticus. Germ. 

 uncinns, Forst, 

 Blaps, Fabr. 



Arvieniaca, Fald. 

 barbara, Sol. 

 Emondi, Sol. 



tceniolata, Men. Although this is a very westerly locality for 

 this species, I can find no character to separate the two 

 specimens procured by Mr. Thomson from those labelled 

 toBuiolaia by Mons. Allard in Mr. F. Bates's collection, now 

 in the British Museum. 

 Ptmelia, Fabr. 

 Boyeri, Sol. 



malleata, Woll. Of this pretty species there are two examples 

 in the British Mnseum in the collection which formerly 

 belonged to Mr. F. Bates, one of which bears the label 

 ' MdlU'iita. Wollast. type.' They were also brought from 

 the Atlas Mountains, having been taken by Messrs. Hooker 

 and Ball. Mr. Thomson collected thirteen specimens. 

 simplex, Sol.
