PHALACRIDjE. 105 



Olibrus bicolor, Erich., Nat. der Ins. Deutsch. iii. 116 (1845). 



Wott., Ins. Mad. 113 (1854). 



, Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 37 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), ad flores in subinferioribus vulgaris. 



A European species, which, abounds on flowers in Madeira proper 

 at rather low and intermediate elevations ; but it has not yet been 

 detected in any of the other islands. 



293. Olibrus Stephensii. 



Phalacrus Stephensii, Leach, in litt. 



, Steph., III. Brit. Ent. ii. 164 (1829). 



Olibrus liquidus, Erich., Nat. der Ins. Deutsch. iii. 117 (1845). 



, Wott., Ins. Mad. 114 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 37 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.}, una cum praecedente degens vel in locis 

 similibus occurrens. 



Likewise a European Olibrus, and one which occurs in precisely 

 the same sort of places in Madeira proper as the last species indeed, 

 usually in company with it. 



294. Olibrus congener. 

 Olibrus congener, Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 107 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz.), ad flores parum rarus. 



Detected hitherto only in Lanzarote, of the Canarian Group, 

 though we may certainly expect it to occur in, at all events, Fuer- 

 teventura likewise. It is rather an insignificant species, the charac- 

 ters of which, however, I have fully pointed out in my diagnosis. 



295. Olibrus subsereus. 

 Olibrus suba3reus, Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 107 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can., Ten., Hierro), super flores varies, rarior. 



A small Canarian species, having much the primd facie aspect of 

 the European 0. millefolii. It occurs at intermediate altitudes, and 

 is apparently rare, having been detected hitherto in Grand Canary, 

 Teneriife (where it was found, at Souzal, by the Messrs. Crotch), 

 and Hierro. 



296. Olibrus consimilis. 



Dermestes consimilis, Mshm, Ent. Brit. i. 75 (1802). 

 Phalacrus geminus, Illig., in Panz. Krit. Rev. i. 27 (1805).
