Book Description
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Coleopterous Insects of Madeira: In the Collection of the British Museum Although strictly an enumeration of the Madeiran Coleoptera contained in the British Museum, the present Catalogue has the advantage of being also a general one; for, through the liberality of the only three gentlemen (Messrs. Bewicke, Mason, and Ross) who happened to possess what I could not myself place there, I am glad to have it in my power to state, that every species which has been hitherto detected in those islands is now represented in the National Collection. Exactly 100 species (63 of which I have regarded as new to science) have been brought to light, in the Madeiras, since the publication of the Insecta Maderensia, in 1854; three moreover (Trechus l vis, Ellipsodes oblongior, and Stenus fulvescens) have been added, which I had looked upon, up to that date, as mere modifications of others; whilst five forms, which, from insufficient evidence, I had described as species (viz. Tarphius spinipes, Ptinus longicornis, Atlantis lauripotens and austrinus, and Stagonomorpha unicolor), have been treated as varieties: so that the total number is now augmented (from 482) to 580. As would of course be anticipated, these 580 species are composed of insects which are partly indigenous and partly introduced; and it is only by a careful observation of them in situ, and a close inquiry into their various habits, that it can be decided to which of these two classes the several creatures belong.
