Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in sylvaticis parum vulgaris. 



A species which seems to be pretty common (though scarcely

 and lofty elevations ; but it has not yet been observed in any of the

Habitat Canarienses (Caw.), in intermediis degens. 



Apparently peculiar to Grand Canary ; 'though, since hitherto I 

 have seen but a single example of it (which was taken by myself in 

 the region of El Monte), further material would be desirable in order 

 to establish its specific characters more completely. Like most of 

 the Calathi, it will doubtless be found commonly where it occurs at all.

 in the sylvan regions of Teneriffe, where, however, it is locally rather 

 abundant.

Apparently peculiar to Gomera, of the Canarian Group, whence 

 the single example described in the Appendix to this volume was 

 obtained by the Messrs. Crotch.
