21. Siagona europsea. 

 Siagona Europsea, Zty'., ^ee. 6?ew. des Col. ii. 468 (1826). 



Habitat Canarienses (dm.), mihi non obvia, specimine unico a Barone 

 " Castello de Paiva" nuperrime communicate. 



A single specimen of the S. europcea of Mediterranean latitudes 

 has lately been communicated by the Barao do Castello de Paiva, 

 who obtained it (as he positively assures me) from a correspondent 

 in Grand Canary. It is the only example of the genus which I 

 have yet seen from these Atlantic islands ; but as it was associated 

 (in the bottle of spirits which contained it) with the ordinary 

 Canarian insects, I can have little doubt that its asserted habitat is 

 a correct one.

Habitat Canarienses (Can., Ten.?), in humidis rarissimus. 



The noble P. hispanicus (which occurs in the south of Spain and 

 the north of Africa) is found, though very rarely, at the Canaries. 

 I have met with it at Arguiniguin, in the south of Grand Canary ; 

 and a single example has been communicated by M. Chevrolat 

 purporting to have been taken in Teneriife a locality, however, 

 which requires further corroboration. Grand- Canarian specimens 

 have also been obtained by the Barao do Castello de Paiva.
