Habitat TeneriiFam, in urbe Sanctae Crucis baud infrequens ; certe 

 introductus. 



Tbis common European insect bas been introduced into tbe Cana- 

 ries, in like manner as it bas into Madeira and at tbe Azores. It 

 appears, bowever, to be scarce. I bave taken it occasionally in Tene- 

 riffe, in tbe streets and bouses of S*'' Cruz ; and it bas likewise been 

 communicated from tbe same island by tbe Barao do CasteUo de Paiva.

Habitat Teneriffam et Palmam, sub cortice laxo in lauretis parum 

 excelsis parcissime degens. 



Tbe B. spinicoUis, ^o generally (tbough sparingly) distributed over 

 tbe laurel-districts of Madeira, occurs in similar situations at tbe 

 Canaries — wbere, bowever, it would seem to be of tbe utmost rarity. 

 At tbe end of May 1858 I captured a single example of it in tbe 

 island of Palma (bigb up in tbe Barranco de Galga); and a few 

 weeks later I met witb a second, in TenerifFe — under the dry, loosened 

 bark of an old laurel in tbe wood of Las Mercedes.
