18 CARABID^E. 



43. Dromius pervemistus. 

 Dromius pervenustus, Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 14 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Gom., Palma), sub foliis dejectis praeci- 

 pue in intermediis parce degens. 



Occurs beneath fallen leaves, and other dry refuse, in the Canarian 

 Group, principally at intermediate elevations. It has been observed 

 in Teneriife, Gomera, and Palma ; but it is both local and rather 

 scarce. 



44. Dromius incertus. 

 Dromius incertus, Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 13 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz.), rarissimus; specimina duo hactenus 

 sola vidi. 



The only two examples which I have yet seen of this Dromius 

 were taken by myself in Lanzarote, of the Canarian Group. The 

 species appears to be allied to the European D. nigriventris, Thorns. 

 (=fasciatus, Dej.)

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (Ten.), in intermediis 

 rarior. 



The European B. glabratus is not uncommon in the intermediate 

 elevations of Madeira proper ; but from the Canaries I have seen 

 hitherto only a single example, which was taken by myself at the 

 Agua Garcia in Teneriffe. It is certainly very closely allied to the 

 B. maurus, from which, indeed, small specimens are occasionally not 

 easy to separate. 



46. Blechrus maurus. 



Dromius maurus, Sturm, Deutsch. Fna, vii. 55, 1. 171. f. D (1827). 



glabratus, Wott., Ins. Mad. 9 (1854).
