“ If we exclude from consideration the thirty-six species (above 
alluded to) which have unquestionably been brought into the Island 
through the medium of commerce, and which enter into the fauna of 
nearly every civilized country, I need scarcely add that the St. Helena 
list, as hitherto made known, possesses nothing whatever in common 
'with those of the three sub-African archipelagos which lie further to 
the north — though the great development of the Curculionideous 
sub-family Cossonides is a remarkable fact which is more or less 
conspicuous throughout the whole of them.” 
Fam. Carabidce. 
Haplothorax, Waterh. 
*H. burchellii, Waterh. — This truly indigenous and noble 
black carabid may be distinguished by its being tiie largest Beetle 
that is found in St. Helena. It is confined to the north-eastern 
corner of the Island, at an altitude above the sea of 2000 feet. It 
uppears to have been detected by the African traveller, Dr. Burchell, 
a good many years ago ; it is now extremely scarce, being met 
with occasionally only, after considerable hunting, under stones 
°u Deadwood or Flagstaff, and sometimes in the ploughed fields at 
Longwood. 
Calosoma, Weber. 
*C. haligena, Woll. — A large dull brassy or nearly black 
Beetle, about an inch in length ; it is, with the other species, easily 
distinguished from the Haplothorax by the presence of metallic spots
