CANARIAN COLEOrTERA. 559 



occur at low and intermediate elevations, the few specimens which T 

 have seen ha^ing• been captured bj myself in Teneriffe and Gomera, 

 — namely, near S'" Cruz, at the Agua Mansa, and between Orotava 

 and Realejo, of the former, and close to San Sebastian of the latter. 



849. Mycetoporus momlicornis, n. sp. 



M. angustus, parallelo-elongatus ; capite (angusto, triangular!, oculis 

 parvis) prothoraceque tcstaceis, elytris (brevibus) rufo-testacois, 

 abdomine (sat profunde punctate) rufo-piceo, basi apiceque vix 

 pallidiore ; antennis (elongatis, submoniliformibus) pedibusque tes- 

 taceis ; prothoracis punctis 4 anticis fere ad marginem ipsum sitis ; 

 elytrorum seriebus tribus parce et obsolete punctatis. — -Long. corp. 

 lin. 2. 



Habitat in montibus excelsis Teneriifae, a W. D. Crotch semel captus. 



At once known from the preceding species by its smaller size and 

 very much narrower and more parallel outline, by the paler or more 

 testaceous hue of its head and prothorax (the former of which is nar- 

 rower and with the eyes more minute), by its shorter elytra (the 

 three lines on each of which are more obsoletely punctured), by its 

 more piceous and less coarsely punctured abdomen, and by its rela- 

 tively longer, paler, and more moniliform antennae. Its four ante- 

 rior prothoracic punctides, moreover, are placed nearer to the front 

 margin. The only example which I have seen was captured by Dr. 

 Crotch, during the spring of 1862, in Teneriffe — apparently (from 

 the mark appended to it) on the elevated Cumbre adjoining the Ca- 

 fiadas. 



850. Mycetoporus solidicornis, n. sp. 



M. elongato-ellipticus ; capite nigro, prothorace elytrisque rufo-tes- 

 taceis, his circa scutellum necnon in disco suffuse infuscatis, abdo- 

 mine (sat profunde punctato) piceo-nigro, apice paulo dihitiore ; 

 antennis brevibus, nigro-fuscis, basi pedibusque testaceis (tibiis tar- 

 sisque plus minus infuscatis); prothoracis punctis 4 anticis a mar- 

 gine parum remotis ; elytrorum seriebus tribus valde distincte punc- 

 tatis. — Long. Corp. lin. 1|. 



Habitat Canariam Grandem, in regione El Monte rei^ertus. 



The very much shorter antennae of this Mycetoporus, combined with 

 its black head and rufo-testaceous prothorax and elytra (the latter of 

 which, however, are more or less infuscated, or suffused, about the 

 scutellary region and across theii* disc), will readily separate it from 

 the two preceding species. Its general appearance is much that of a 

 BoUtohius ; but the minute aciculatcd last joint of its maxillary palpi 

 at once assigns it to the present genus. My only two examples 

 I captured in the region of El Monte, in Grand Canarj*.
