38 CANARIAN COLEOPTERA. 



The G. angustulus occurs sparingly throughout the sylvan regions 

 of Teneriffe, especially towards their upper limits, — where it may be 

 found under damp stones, and beneath the loose rotting bark of trees. 

 In such positions I have taken it on the ascent from Yeod el Alto to 

 the Cumbre, at the Agua Mansa, and in the laurel-woods above 

 Point Anaga and Taganana. It has also been communicated by the 

 Barao do Castello de Paiva. 



62. Calathus depressus. 



Calathvis depressus ?, Bndle, in Webb et Berth. ( Col) 55. pi. 2. f. 1 (1838). 

 , WolL, he. cit. 350 (1862). 



Habitat in sylvaticis Teneriffae, sub lapidibus vulgaris. 



The dark hue and broad outline of this Calathus (the prothorax of 

 which is considerably wider behind than in front, and is but slightly 

 recurved at the edges), added to its rather deeply striated elytra 

 (which are subopake in both sexes, and have their discal punctures 

 as follows : — from about 6 to 10 on the third interval, from about 

 5 to 7 on the fifth, and from about 1 to 3 on the seventh), will suffi- 

 ciently characterize it. The hinder tibiae of the male are almost (if 

 not indeed entirely) simple ; and even the intermediate ones are but 

 very shortly and obscurely fimbriated towards their inner apex : 

 nevertheless the latter are quite sufficiently so, I think, to warrant 

 its admission into my second Section. Although M. Brulle's veiy 

 brief and meagre description applies almost equally to about two- 

 thirds of the Canarian Calathi, yet, with the assistance of his figiu'e, 

 and of the size there given of it (which, however, does not tally rvitJi 

 what he states), I beheve that this is the insect to which he intended 

 to apply the name of C. cUpressus. 



It is universal within the sylvan districts of Teneriffe, and is per- 

 haps the most common of the Canarian Calathi. I have taken it at 

 and above Ycod el Alto, at the Agua Mansa, and at the Agua Garcia, 

 as also at Las Mercedes and in the woods towards Taganana and Point 

 Anaga. It has lilcewise been communicated by Professor Heer of 

 Zurich and by the Barao do Castello de Paiva. 



63. Calathus appendiculatus. 

 Calathus appendiculatus, WoU., loc. cit. 351 (1862). 

 Habitat Canariam Grandem : in montibus sylvaticis inter Gaidar

Apart from all other characters, the peculiar sexual differences of 

 this fine Calathus (the males of which are entirely bright, whilst the
