variety of A. jaspidea, a common Brazilian species, but on closer 
examination the apex of the elytra was found to be different. If 
this species should hereafter prove to be peculiar to the island, it 
will be a somewhat remarkable fact. 
A few of the species the determination of which would have 
been attended with great labour, I have left unnamed, as I feel 
sure they are introduced species. 
Brachely t r a. 
Belonucuius, sp. 
A single specimen, closely resembling B.formosus, G-rav., of 
Brazil, but smaller, 2\ lines in length. It was found in a decom- 
posing rat. 
TrOGOPHLCEUS, sp. 
A single example, closely resembling T. pusillus, Gfrav., of Eu- 
rope, but a trifle larger, with the two basal impressions of the 
thorax strongly marked. 
NeCROI’HAGA. 
Dermestes eelinus, Fabr. 
A widely-distributed species. 
Epuraea F 
A single specimen of a very small species (If millim.) somewhat 
resembling Fpurcea limbed a, but a little narrower, with the mar- 
gins not expanded, light brown, finely pubescent, closely and 
very finely punctured ; each elytron having two fine, widely 
separated, impressed striae. Abdomen covered by the elytra. 
Palpicornia. 
Philhydrus marginellus, Fabr. 
A widely-distributed species. 
Dactylosternum abdominale, Fabr. 
A widely distributed species. 
Lamellicornia.

Three examples belonging to two species. No doubt intro- 
duced.
