{ 203 ) VII. On Additions to the Atlantic Coleoptera. By T. Vernon Wollaston, M.A., F.L.S. In the following Paper I propose to notice such addi-tions to the ' Coleoptera Atlautidum ' as have been brought to light (since the publication of that volume in 1865) up to the present date^ i. e., to the close of 1870; and I would also take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded, to give such corrections in the general nomen-clature as may seem desirable, as well as to add occa-sional items of information (lately gleaned) when appear-ing of sufficient interest to be worth placing upon record. A few remarks, indeed, of that particular kind, together with the diagnosis of four actual novelties to the cata-logue, formed the subject-matter of a short Appendix to my 'Coleoptera Hesperidum' in 1867; and these, there-fore, I must, however briefly, recapitulate, in order that the present memoir may include every correction and addition which it is necessary to take account of (so far, at least, as I am aware) since the ' Coleoptera Altanti-dum' made its appearance. The number of additions to the combined fauna of the three archipelagos (namely, the Madeiras, Salvages, and Canaries,) which I am enabled to record in this Paper is exactly thirty-three ; but as two supposed species have been expunged from the Madeirian list, * the 1449 species which were cited in the ' Coleoptera Altantidum,^ will be increased to 1480. The thirty-three accessions to the general catalogue are as follows: — ■ Stenolophus exiguus, Dej. Trechus debilis, W. . Scutopterus imbricatus, W. Eunectes helvolus, Kl. Ochthehius ahjicola, W. Philhydnis maritimus, Th. Acrotrichis brevicoruis, Mots. ovatula, Mots. Tarjphius lutidentuSi W. Melirjethcs Byei, W. La;mo})lilaeus suffusus, W. . Madeiras. X X X X X X X X Canaries. X * The two species which have been suppressed in the Madeirian list are Treclms quadricollis and Tarpliius Wolffii. TKANS. ENT. SOC. 1871. — PART II. (MAY.)
