130 C.VNARIAN COLEOPTERA. 



Aphanartlirum, and the numerous other insects of like habits. It is, 

 however, exceedingly rare. It was taken sparingly by Mr. Gray 

 and myself in the extreme north of Lanzarote, during January 1858, 

 as also (a few weeks later) in Hierro, And I subsequently captured 

 several specimens of it on the mountains above S*" Cruz, in Teneriife. 

 Its near resemblance primd facie to the Euroj^s impresskoUis renders 

 it liable to be overlooked amongst the hosts of that insect with which 

 it usually lives in society ; nevertheless its longer elytra and different 

 antennae will, on a closer inspection (apart from aU the other dis- 

 tinctions fully pointed out in my paper above referred to), readily 

 characterize it.

Habitat Canariam, Teneriffam et Palmam, sub cortice arborum 

 prsesertim in regionibus sylvaticis, hinc inde baud infrequens. 



The L. granulatus, which occurs in the wooded regions of Madeira, 

 is found in similar localities in these islands, — rarely descending 

 below the forest-districts, I have taken it in Grand Canary, Tene- 

 riffe, and Palma ; in the last of which it was also found by Mr. Gray. 

 My TenerifFan specimens are from beneath bark on the densely clad 

 mountains above Taganana (where the species is comparatively com- 

 mon), the Agua Garcia, and the Agua Mansa. 



222. Lsemophlceus clavicollis. 



Lfemophlceus clavicollis et vermiculatus, Woll., Ins. Mad. 161 et 163

Habitat insulas omnes Canarienses, sub cortice arborum et plan- 

 tarum (praesertim Eupliorbiarum) latens. 



The present insect appears to be identical with the Madeiran L. 

 clavicollis and vermiculatus, — the latter of which cannot, I believe, be 

 kept distinct from the former, and must consequently be suppressed. 

 It is universal throughout the Canarian archipelago ; for although I 

 did not happen to observe it in Gomera, I have examined a specjmen 

 which was found in that island, during the spring of 1862, by Dr. 

 Crotch. In the other six islands of the Group I have myself captured 

 it, in various situations and altitudes ; and it was met with in Hierro
