GO CANARIAN COLEOPTEEA. 



whilst the latter are a little more shortened behind, — leaving the 

 pygidium still more exposed. The surface of their female sex, too, 

 is perhaps, if anytliinrj, somewhat more shining.

Habitat Lanzarotam borealem, ad Salinas semel captus. 



The only specimen which I have seen of this insect was taken by 

 myself at the Salinas (or salt-works), in the extreme north of Lanza- 

 rote, during March 1859. It is closely allied to the European D. 

 ohsoletus ; but, judging from the single example now before me, it is 

 rather more robust and oblong (the elytra being more parallel) ; its 

 head and prothorax are more closely and less deejily punctured, and 

 the latter has its extreme hinder angles a trifle more acutely pro- 

 minent ; its elytra are immaculate, with their sculptiu'e lighter ; its 

 shoulders arc a httle more obtuse ; and its entire surface is of a redder 

 tint, and apparently almost free from pubescence.

Habitat in Puerteventura, Canaria, Teneriffa, Gomera et Palma, in 

 humidis, frequens. 



The European S. vaporariorum (which is common at Madeira, and 

 which I possess from the Azores) is widely spread over the Canaritm 

 archipelago, — where in all probability it is universal. At present, 

 however, I have taken it in but five * out of the seven islands of the 



* It is indeed recorded in M. Hartung's list of the Coleoptera of Lanzarote ; 

 but so many errors seem to have arisen througli the mixing up (however unin- 

 tentionally) of the insects of his different localities, that I tliink it hardly safe to 

 admit it into my catalogue as Lanzarotau without further evidence.
