ZOOLOGY OF FERNANDO NORONIIA. 



549 



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 liave left unnamed, as I feel 

 sure they are introduced species.

Belokuchus, sp.

 posing rat.

 separated, impressed striae. Abdomen covered by the elytra.
