mediate and lofty elevations. According to M. AUard, it is a good 

 deal allied to the European L. tliorackus, Steph. ; from which it ap- 

 pears, mainly, to recede in its smaller size, more elliptic outline, dif- 

 ferent colour, and coarser punctation. 



636, Longitarsus vilis, n. sp, 



L. fusco-piceus, nitidus, subdepressus ; prothorace parvo, subconico- 

 transverso, postice recte truncato, minute et levissime j)unctulato ; 

 elytris subovalibus, autico facile angustioribus, distinctius (sed mi- 

 nute) et parum dense punctatis ; antennis (breviusculis) pedibus- 

 que plus minus piceo-testaceis, illis versiis apicem et prajsertim fe- 

 moribus posticis picescentioribus. — Long, corp, lin, vix 1. 



Habitat in Canaria et Teneriffa, parum rarus. 



This ordinary-looldng little species has much the (brownish- 

 piceous) colour of the common European L. luridm ; nevertheless it 

 is considerably smaller and less convex than that insect ; its jiro- 

 thorax is rather smaller, and a little more laterally-compressed in 

 front (giving it a more conical appearance from above) ; its elytra 

 are less dilated in the middle and more regularly narrowed towards 

 the shoulders ; and its entire punctation is both finer and denser. 

 I took a single example of it in Grand Canary, during the spring of 

 1858 ; and four more were captured by Dr, Crotch in Teneiiffe in 

 1862.

Habitat Fuerteventuram et TenerifFflm, in foliis EcMorum degens. 



The European and North- African L. fuscoasneus occurs sparingly 

 at the Canaries — on the leaves of the Echium violaceum, L. It was 

 taken by Mr. Gray in Fuerteventura ; and by myself on the moun- 

 tains above S''' Cruz, as well as at the Agua Garcia, in TenerifFe — 

 in which latter island it was found subsequently by Dr. Crotch.
