CANABIAN COLEOPXERA. 27 



The present insect, which is undoubtedly the Feronia glabra of 

 Brulle (as I have satisfied myself by an examination of his original 

 types, in Paris), appears, so far as I have observed hitherto, to be 

 peculiar to Grand Canary ; where, at the end of March 1858, I took 

 it, not uncommonly, beneath stones, on the calcareous hills above 

 Las Palmas, along the road to El Monte. 



42. Broscus rutilans. 



B. ater ; capite prothoraceque nitidissimis, hoe angusto, cordate, ad 

 basin profundius et densius pimctato, ad latera ipsissima angustis- 

 sime marginato subconcoloi"e ; elytris nitidis, obsoletissime sub- 

 punctulato-striatis, ad latera ipsissima angustissime marginatis 

 subconcoloribus ; antennis fusco-pieeis, articulo primo testaceo- 

 piceo ; pedibus piceis. — Long. corp. lin. 7-8. 



Broscus rutilans, JFolL, Ann. Nat. Hist. (3rd series) ix. 438 (1862). 

 Habitat in montibus excelsis TeneriffoD, usque ad 7000' s. m. as- 

 cendcns. 



The rather smaller size, narrower outline, and more shining sur- 

 face of this very distinct Broscus, in conjunction with the more punc- 

 tured base of its prothorax, and its altogether narrower and less cya- 

 ueous margin, will at once distinguish it from the last species. Its 

 limbs, too, are somewhat shorter, and the basal joint of its antenna; 

 is less pale. In its habits it is very different from the B. glaher, — re- 

 siding in the higher regions of Teneriffe, above the upper hmits of 

 the sylvan districts. In such situations I obtained it, rather abun- 

 dantly, during May of 18-59, on the mountain-ridges above the Agua 

 Mansa, adjoining the Cumbre, — upwards of 7000 feet above the sea. 



(Subfam. X. PTEROSTICHIDES.)
