Tarphius echinatus, Woll, Ins. Mad. 143 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 47 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in lauretis excelsis rarissimus. 



Extremely scarce, and confined to the sylvan districts of Madeira 

 proper my specimens having chiefly been collected in the vicinity 

 of the Pico da Suna, in the east of the island. 



353. Tarphius brevicollis. 



Tarphius brevicollis, Woll., Ins. Mad. 144 (1854). 

 ? Id., Cat. Mad. Col 48 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.}, in locis similibus ac pracedens rarissimus. 



Of about equal rarity with the last species, and found (like it) in 

 the sylvan districts of Madeira proper principally towards the east 

 of the island.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in sylvaticis vel castanetis vel lauretis 

 rarissimus. 



Likewise peculiar to the sylvan regions of Madeira proper, where 

 it is of the greatest rarity. Until lately indeed I had seen but the 

 single example (taken by myself, I believe at the Eibeiro Frio) from 

 which my diagnosis was compiled in 1854; but two more have 

 recently been communicated by Dr. C. Wolff, captured in the chest- 

 nut-woods (at the Mount) above Funchal. 



355. Tarphius explicatus. 



Tarphius explicatus, Woll, Cat. Mad. Col 48 (1857). 

 Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in lauretis humidis excelsis rarissimus. 



One of the rarest of the Tarphii, the only two specimens which 1 

 have seen having been taken by myself in the north of Madeira 

 proper (in the dense forest-region of the Montado dos Pecegueiros) 

 during July 1855. 



356. Tarphius deformis. 



Tarphius deformis, Woll, Journ. of Ent. i. 387, pi. 19. f. 9 (1862).

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in intcrnicdiis sylvaticis pr&sertim lau- 

 retis late sed parce diffusus.
