Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (Can., Ten.), sub lapitii- 

 bus rarissimus. 



A species, of Mediterranean latitudes, which appears to be exceed- 

 ingly rare in these Atlantic islands. It has, however, been taken, 

 very sparingly, in Madeira proper; as also in Grand Canary and 

 Teneriffe. 



145. Stenolophus dorsalis. 



Carabus dorsalis, Fab., Ent. Sytst. i. 165 (1792).

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (Can., Ten., Gom.), in 

 humidis hinc inde parum vulgaris. 



The European S. dorsalis is both local and rather scarce in 

 Madeira proper ; but at the Canaries it is much more common, 

 where it has been detected in Grand Canary, Teneriffe, and Gomera.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in montibus parce degens. 



Occurs sparingly on the mountains of Madeira proper, principally 

 at a rather high elevation. I had formerly regarded it as the 

 B. fulvus of more northern latitudes, though aware of certain slight 

 discrepancies which it presented from the normal state of that 

 species ; but Mr. Rye has lately informed me that he believes it will 

 be better associated with the European B. harpalinus. Still it does 

 not completely agree even with the latter, though its differences are 

 very trifling and unimportant ones.
