Habitat Fuerteventuram et Teneriffam, in truncis Euphorbiarum 

 emortuis degens. 



Of this singular insect, which is attached exclusively to the decay- 

 ing stems and branches of the various Euphorbias (within which it 

 undergoes its transformations), I gave a full description in my Paper 

 " on the Eupliorhia-mie^im^ Coleoptera of the Canary Islands." At 

 the beginning of April 1859 I took it, both in the imago and pupa 

 state (though particularly the latter), on the hills above 8*'' Maria 

 Betancuria, in the Rio Palmas of Fuerteventura ; and during the 

 following month (as well as in the preceding February) I met with 

 it on the mountain-slopes of Teneriffe between S** Cruz and Las Mer- 

 cedes, and towards Lagima. Teneriffan examples (obtained from an 

 old collection) have also been communicated by the Barao do Castello 



de Paiva. 



Genus 230. STENIDEA. 



Midsant, Coleopt. de France {LaineU. Suppl.) (1842), 



The insects enumerated below I carelessly referred, in my Paper " on 



the EuphorUa-hxiestm^ Coleoptera of the Canary Islands," to Blabi- 



notus. In reality, however, they belong to a totally different Section 



of the Eucerata (as has been recently pointed out by Mr. Pascoe), — 



their deflexed head, more deeply emarginate and less prominent eyes, 



the apically- acute (instead of securiform) last joint of their palpi, and 



their much longer antennae, all tending to remove them from the Calli- 



dium-f orma of the Gerambiddce into the Saperdideous ones of the La- 



miadce — the position, in fact, which is ordinarily conceded to the genus 



which must undoubtedly receive them. 



597. Stenidea annulicornis. 



Cerambyx annulicornis, Brulle, in Webb et Berth. {Col.) 62, pi, 1. f, 3 



(1838), 

 Blabinotus annulicornis, Woll, Travis. Ent. Soc. Lond. i, 179 (1862), 

 Stenidea annulicornis, Id., Journ. of Ent. ii, 108 (1863). 



Habitat in Teneriffa et Hierro, sub cortice Euphorbiarum emor- 



tuarum laxo latitans.
