CANARIAN COLEOrTERA. 61 



Group, — namely, in Fuerteventura, Grand Canary, Teneriffe, Goraera, 

 and Palma. In Teneriffe I have observed it principally, in moist 

 spots, around S** Cruz, at Las Mercedes, the Agua Mansa, and at 

 Ycod el Alto ; and in Gomera at the edges of the small stream at 

 San Sebastian. In Teneriffe and Gomera it was found likewise by 

 Dr. Crotch.

Habitat in humidis Canarice et Teneriffae, rarissimus. 



The S. marginatus of Mediterranean latitudes (which has been 

 recorded in Spain, the south of France, Corfu, Greece and Egypt, and 

 which is exceedingly rare in Madeira) occurs very sparingly at the 

 Canaries. I have myself only taken it in the island of Grand Canary 

 (by the edges of a small stream on the ascent to the Roca del Soucilho, 

 from San Mateo) ; but a Teneriffan specimen has lately been com- 

 municated by the Barao do Castello de Paiva.

Habitat in humidis Canariae, Teneriffae et Gomerse, hine inde vul- 

 garis. 



The European S. dorsalis (likewise found, though sparingly, in 

 Madeira) is tolerably common in certain spots at the Canaries. Up 

 to the present date, however, I have myself observed it only in Grand 

 Canary and Teneriffe, — namely (abundantly) near San Mateo and 

 Teror, of the former ; and around Sta Cruz, at Las Mercedes and the 

 Agua Garcia, of the latter. It was however taken by Dr. Crotch 

 above Hermigua in Gomera, as well as in Teneriffe (from which 

 latter island it has also been commiinicated by the Barao do Castello 

 de Paiva). 



Genus 33. BRADYCELLUS.

94. Bradycellus ventricosus, n. sp. 

 B. ovatus, nigro-piceus, nitidus ; prothorace subquadrato-cordato, 

 basi utrinque profunde punctato ; elytris eonvexis, ventricosis.
