4 CARABIDuE. 



five in which it does not happen to have been observed. At the 

 Canaries it is decidedly scarcer ; but it is probably general in, at all 

 events, the central and western portions of the archipelago. Never- 

 theless hitherto it has been detected only in Grand Canary, Teneriffe, 

 and Palma ; and it is certainly remarkable that the late indefatigable 

 researches of the Messrs. Crotch in Gomera did not bring it to light 

 in that island : indeed they state that no one with whom they con- 

 versed at Gomera seemed to be acquainted with it. 



8. Calosoma azoricum. 



Calosoma azoricum ?, Hecr, Fossil. Calosom. 5 (note). 

 , WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 4 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Fuert.), minus frequens. 



This Calosoma seems to replace the C. indagator in the two east 

 islands of the Canarian Group Lanzarote and Fuerteventura ; but 

 I must add that the features (alluded to, seriatim, in my recent 

 Catalogue) which separate it from that insect do not appear to me 

 to be very important ones. Nevertheless it was the opinion of Dr. 

 Schaum that they are sufficient to indicate a distinct species ; and it 

 seemed, both to him and to myself, that that species was probably 

 the one from the Azores which Dr. Heer has described under the 

 name of azoricum, and which occurs likewise at the Cape de 

 Verdes, the two examples (captured by Mr. Fry) on the strength 

 of which I admitted it (vide ( Ann. of Nat. Hist.' 1861, vii. 95) into 

 the fauna of St. Vincent appearing, on further inspection, to belong 

 to the azoricum rather than the indayator* 



Genus 6. CARABUS. 

 Linneeus, Syst. Nat. ii. 668 (1767). 



9. Carabus faustus. 



Carabus faustus, Brulle, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 57, pi. ii. f. 3 (1838). 

 , Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 6 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in sylvaticis intermediis, rarissimus. 



Apparently peculiar to the intermediate sylvan districts of Tene- 

 riffe, where moreover it must be not only very rare but also extremely 

 local, seeing that it has not been met with either by myself or the 

 Messrs. Crotch, during our continued researches in that island. It 

 was, however, taken by M. Hartung ; and it has been communicated 

 " from the Agua Garcia " by the Barao do Castello de Paiva.
