Likewise peculiar to Madeira proper, and apparently of the greatest 

 rarity, the few examples hitherto detected having been taken by 

 Senhor Moniz in the chestnut- woods on the mountains above Funchal.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in sylvaticis, vel lauretis vel pinetis, bine 

 inde vulgaris. 



Inhabits the sylvan districts of Madeira proper, occurring (rather 

 commonly) both in the laurel-forests of the interior and in the pine- 

 woods on the southern slopes of the island. It is barely possible that 

 what I have regarded as the sexes of this Tarphius may be specifi- 

 cally distinct, though I do not think it likely that such is the case.
