abbreviate, Bridle, in Silb. Rev. Ent. iii. 298 (1835). 



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



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in montibus excelsis circiter ad 7000' 

 s. m. ascendens. 



Like tbe C. faustus, this Carabus bas been observed only in the 

 higher elevations of Teneriffe where, however, it is not uncommon 

 in certain regions difficult of access. I have taken it in the district 

 of the Agua Mansa, and from thence to the lofty Cumbre above it; 

 as well as above Ycod el Alto, where it has subsequently been cap- 

 tured by the Messrs. Crotch. 



11. Carabus coarctatus. 



Carabus coarctatus, Brulle, in Webb et Berth. ( Col} 57, pi. ii.f.2 (1838).

Habitat Canarienses (Can.), in intermediis et elevatis, rarissimus. 



This fine and distinct Carabus has been observed hitherto only in 

 the intermediate and higher elevations of Grand Canary, where 

 (during March and April of 1858) I took it in the region of El Monte 

 and on the ascent to the Roca del Soucilho.

Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Can.), in aridis submaritimis, rarissimus. 



The S. gigas of Mediterranean latitudes (which is also tolerably 

 common at Mogadore, 011 the coast of Morocco) occurs rarely at the 

 Canaries, where however it is probably universal in the more eastern 

 portions of the Group. It was taken by Mr. Gray and myself in 

 the low arid district around Arrecife in Lanzarote ; and by myself 

 in the little island of Graciosa (off the north of Lanzarote), as well 

 as at Maspalomas in the extreme south of Grand Canary.
