above Ycod el Alto, and even from amongst the thickets of the lle- 

 tamas on the Cumbre adjoining the Caiiadas — more than 8000 feet

Habitat Canariam, Teneriifam et Gomeram, per margines aquarum 

 in locis inferioribus, rarissimus. 



The European C. spoliatus appears to be verj' rare at the Canaries, 

 the only two spots in which I have myself observed it being near 

 S** Cruz of TenerifFe (beneath stones at the edges of the small stream 

 in the Barranco Santo), and along the margins of the little pools in 

 the sandy waste at Maspalomas, in the extreme south of Grand 

 Canary. A single specimen, however, was taken by Dr. Crotch in 

 Gomera.

 , Bridle, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 57. pi. ii. f. 5 (1838). 



Habitat Canariam et TenerifFam, in iisdem locis ac praecedens sed 

 mid to magis frecjuens. 



The beautiful C. canariensis I have taken hitherto only in the two 

 same localities as the last species (than which it is far more abun- 

 dant). It has, however, been communicated by the Barao do Cas- 

 tello de Paiva from the Barranco de San Domingo, near Laguna.
