M. Franquinho; Lompe, Arved We list 12 unpublished records of beetle species for the fauna of Madeira. These were collected between 1996 and 2023. New data are given on the recently described Paradeucalion maderense (Cerambycidae). An explanation and photos are provided to recognise the two Madeiran species of Placonotus MacLeay, 1871 (Laemophloeidae).

Menezes de Cuscuta campestris Yunck (Convolvulaceae) is reported for the first time as naturalised in the island of Madeira (Portugal). This plant was found parasitising the natives Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and Bituminaria bituminosa (L.) C. H. Stirt., fully flowering and fructifying. This North American dodder, already spread in many parts of the world, can prove to be not only a problem for several native and endemic plants, including many Fabaceae, but also an agricultural problem since its ability to parasitise many cultures is well known.
