 1 Jd. } Cat. Can. Col. 36 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in montibus excelsis plus minus sylvt 

 ticis hinc inde parum vulgaris. 



A large Calathus which may be regarded as the Canarian repre- 

 sentative of the C. vividus of Madeira. It has been observed hitherto 

 only in the higher elevations of Teneriffe, where it is locally far 

 from uncommon on the upper limits of the sylvan districts. 



89. Calathus auctus.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in iisdem locis ac piuecedens. 



Likewise a Teneriffan Calathus, residing in precisely the same sort 

 of places as the last species indeed for the most part in company 

 with it. It is in fact very closely allied to the ciliatus ; and although 

 I believe it to be permanently distinct, yet examples do occasionally 

 occur which are so far intermediate between the two that I cannot 

 but feel it possible that it may be in reality but an extreme modifi- 

 cation of that species. 



90. Calathus angustulus. 



Calathus angustulus, IPo//., Ann. Nat. Hist. ix. 349 (1862). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col 37 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in sylvaticis editioribus praesertim sub 

 truncis corticeque arborum laxo putrido parce latens. 



Attached to the damp sylvan regions of Teneriffe, particularly at 

 a high altitude ; occurring, sparingly, under wet logs of wood, and 

 beneath the loose rotting bark of trees. 



91. Calathus depressus. 



Cajathus depressus?, BrulU in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 55, pi. 2. f. 1 (1838)

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in sylvaticis vulgatissimus. 



Abounds throughout the wooded districts of Teneriffe, being per- 

 haps the most common of the Canarian Calathi ; but it has not y 

 been observed in any of the other islands.
