259. Cybocephalus laevis. 



Cybocephalus lams, WdL, Cat. Can. Col. 117 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (LanzJ), rarissimus ; in maritimis parce captus. 



The few examples which I have yet seen of this very distinct little 

 species were captured my myself in Lanzarote, of the Canarian Group. 

 They were taken on the sea -shore near Arrecife ; but it is probable 

 that that habitat was merely an accidental one, and that they had 

 found their way there from some kind of plant not far distant.

Habitat Canarienses (Can., Ten., 6rom.), in intermediis hinc inde vul- 

 garis. Sub foliis dejectis interdum abundat. 



Observed only at the Canaries, where it is probably universal in 

 the central and western islands of the Group. It occurs beneath 

 rubbish and fallen leaves, at intermediate elevations, and has been 

 detected in Grand Canary, Teneriffe, and Gomera. I did not, my- 

 self, meet with it very abundantly ; but the Messrs. Crotch, during 

 the summer of 1864, found it in profusion.

This European insect is widely spread over these Atlantic Islands. 

 I have taken it crawling on the damp inner walls of houses, at in- 

 termediate elevations, in Madeira ; and I likewise met with it,
