Habitat Lanzarotam et Fuerteventuram, sub lapidibus, tempore hi- 

 berno et vernali hand infrequens. Species valde distincta, indigena, et 

 in honorem clariss, Dom. Pedro Manyiqiie de Lara y Cabrem, ob gra- 

 tias plurimas nobis in ins. Fuerteventura amicissime oblatas, dicata. 



The present Licinus (which has nothing in common with the Eu- 

 ropean L. agricoJa, as implied in M. Hartung's list) is about the size 

 of the L. brevicolKs, Dejean — from the north of Africa, Sicily, Malta, 

 (fee. It may, however, be known by its shining, unalutaceous sur- 

 face, its subquadrate prothorax (which is less rounded at the sides 

 than in the generality of the Licini), by its deeply punctate-striate 

 elytra, the insterstices of which are convex and studded with a double 

 series of large and small j)uncturcs, and by its antennae being brightly 

 rufo-ferruginous towards their apex. It is tolerably common, be- 

 neath stones, in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, during the winter and 

 spriQg ; in both of which islands it was taken by Mr. Gray, myself, 

 and M. Hartung. In the latter I observed it more particularly at 

 Oliva, whilst visiting that comparatively fertile spot, in company with 

 the Rev. E.. T. Lowe, at the end of March 1859 ; and I have great 

 pleasure in dedicating it to our worthy host, Don Pedro Manrique de 

 Lara y Cabrera, whose unbounded Idndness and hospitality, during 

 our entire sojourn in his island, I am glad to have an opportunity of 

 recording.
