CANARIAN COLEOPTERA. 389 



Habitat TeneriiFam, a Barone " Castello de Paiva " communicatus ; 

 mihi non obvius. 



Apparently extremely rare at the Canaries, the only specimen 

 which I have seen having been communicated by the Barao do Cas- 

 tello de Paiva — by whom it was obtained from an old (but very ac- 

 curate) collection which was formed many years ago in Teneriffe. At 

 Madeira it occurs sparingly, principally at low elevations around 



Funchal. 



593. Hesperophanes roridus. 



Callidium (Hesperophanes) roridum, Bridle, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 

 62. pi. 1. f. 6 (1838). 



Habitat ? 



I can give no information about this insect, though I think that 

 even M. Brulle's description will prevent its being assigned to any 

 of the Longicorns enumerated in the present Catalogue. It must at 

 any rate, therefore, have been included amongst the scanty material 

 collected by MM. Webb and Berthelot, and which M. Brulle under- 

 took to describe for their gigantic work ; but as the latter never in- 

 serted a single critical remark upon any of the species — pertaining to 

 their structure, habits, or habitat — I am unable, inter alia, to state 

 even the island in which it was found.

In my Paper " on the Canarian Longicorns," I stated my reasons 

 for suspecting that this insect (which M. Brulle considered to be a mere 

 variety of the European C. ^-jMnctatus) is not properly a Canarian 

 one — or, at any rate, that its habitat appears to have been so confused 

 by Mr. Webb, who would seem to have reported it both for Madeira 

 and the Canaries, that nothing certain can be affirmed respecting it. 

 It is far from unlikely that Mr. Webb (whose excessive inaccuracy 

 in mixing up his Madeiran and Canarian material has been more than 

 once commented upon, and of which I possess the most conclusive 

 evidence) may have obtained it in Fvmchal (perhaps introduced with 

 foreign timber), then taken it (as he undoubtedly did many of his
