lately been communicated by the Bardo do Castello de Paiva. Though 
much broken, it differs in no respect (that I can detect) from the ordi- 
nary specimens of Madeira, unless indeed it be that the punctation 
of its prothorax is perhaps a little less coarse. At Madeira it is far 
from uncommon in certain spots of low elevation around Funchal. 
7. Hesperophanes roridus. 
Callidium (Hosparophanes) roridum, Brullé, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 
62, pl. 1. f. 6 (1838). 
Habitat ? 
Even M. Brullé’s description of this insect is, I think, sufficient to 
warrant the conclusion that it cannot pertain to any of the other 
Longicorns enumerated in the present paper; and therefore I insert 
it (as in the case of the two Clyti) on his authority, as having been 
included in the scanty (and somewhat doubtful) material of MM. 
Webb and Berthelot. I need scarcely add, however, that I am 
unable to give any critical information respecting it—not even the 
island in which it was found; for it was not the custom of M. Brullé 
to insert a single remark on the structure, habits, or habitat of any 
of the very few species collected by MM. Webb and Berthelot, and 
which he undertook to “ describe ”’ for their stupendous work.

Habitat Teneriffam (sec. Dom. Gory), mihi non obvius. 
Considering the excessive inaccuracy of Mr. Webb, and the un- 
mistakeable errors of which he has been convicted (founded on the 
most positive evidence) in transposing his specimens from Madeira 
and the Canaries, which he appears to have mixed up together, I 
feel that nothing certain can be affirmed even of the habitat of this 
insect, which may perhaps have been introduced along with foreign 
timber into Funchal, then taken by Mr. Webb (together with other 
Madeiran species) to Teneriffe, and afterwards reported by him (no 
doubt unintentionally) for both groups! At any rate some such 
explanation seems far from improbable; for M. Gory cites it (clearly 
on the authority of Mr. Webb, as is evident from the name which he 
proposed for it) as coming from Madeira (where, I will venture to 
say, the species does not exist), adding in a note, “ Cet insecte a été
