CANARIAN COLEOPTERA. 393 



from in my Paper on the Canarian Longicorns having been beaten off 

 a busli of the Bumex lunaria, on the 11th of Pebrnaiy 1858, in the 

 island of Hierro — at a low elevation (scarcely indeed above the sea- 

 level) on the ascent from Port Hierro to Valverde. Prima facie it 

 somewhat resembles a minute example of the S.pilosa; nevertheless 

 it is much smaller than that insect, and its antenna? are considerably 

 longer ; its pubescence is more cinereous (or of a less yellowish white) ; 

 its surface is entirely free (except at the apex of the elytra and on the 

 prothorax) from additional erect hairs ; its prothorax is concolorous, 

 rather less constricted behind, and has its lateral spine (although 

 small) more defined, or less anguliform ; and its elytra are more 

 rounded- off separately at' theii' tip, and are more perceptibly orna- 

 mented with broken longitudinal darker lines.

The A. cardui, which is pretty general throughout the south of 

 Europe and the north of Africa, is widely spread over these islands 

 — where it occurs, principally on the flowers of thistles, at interme- 

 diate elevations. I have taken it in the region of El Monte in Grand 

 Canary, at Las Mercedes in Teneriffe, and in Palma.
