sertim antennis pedibusque pallidioribus), fronte inter oculos magis 
triangulariter depressa sed minus foveolata, prothorace per marginem 
anticum et posticum rectiore (minus sinuato), tuberculis lateralibus 
paucioribus, elytris apice sensim brevioribus, costis minus distinctis.

I believe that the unique specimen from which the above diagnosis 
has been compiled is truly the exponent of an additional species of 
Criocephalus, and cannot be regarded as a depauperated or ill-deve- 
loped individual of the rusticus ; nevertheless, as it is scarcely mature 
(having been bred from a pupa which I captured out of an old pine- 
stump in the island of Palma, between the plains of Los Llanos and 
the Great Caldeira), I think that further material should be obtained 
before the true characters of the insect can be fully enunciated. It 
would seem to be extremely abundant throughout the Pinal, in 
Palma, above referred to (and perhaps, therefore, throughout the 
Pinals generally) ; but as my sojourn there happened to be at the 
wrong season of the year for the perfect insect, namely early in 
June of 1858, I was able to procure only the larvee and pupe (all 
of which, except one, afterwards died, and which were excessively 
common in many of the rotten trunks of the Pinus canariensis). 
If the example described from be normal for its kind, the C. pine- 
torum is smaller and paler than the rusticus, being of a reddish 
brown, with the limbs bright rufo-ferruginous ; its forehead is more 
triangularly impressed between the eyes, but less deeply foveolated 
in the centre; its prothorax, on which the lateral tubercles are 
fewer, has its anterior and posterior margins straighter (or less 
sinuated); and its elytra are rather more abbreviated behind, and 
have their longitudinal cost less evident.

Although I have not myself observed this insect at the Canaries, 
I have no hesitation in admitting it into the fauna, inasmuch as a 
single mutilated example, obtained from an old (but very accurately 
kept) collection which was formed many years ago in Teneriffe, has
