362. Tarphius abbreviates. 



Tarphius abbreviatus, Wott., Append, huj. op. 20. 



Habitat Canarienses (Gom.), in iisdem locis ac praecedens sed multo 

 copiosior. 



Apparently common in the laurel-regions of Gomera, at a high 

 elevation, where it was met with abundantly by the Messrs. Crotch, 

 during their late Canarian explorations. 



363. Tarphius quadratus. 



* Tarphius quadratus, Wott., Journ. of Ent. i. 384, pi. 19. f. 5 (1862). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 126 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Palma), in lauretis humidis editioribus raris- 

 simus. 



This distinct Canarian Tarphius has been observed hitherto only 

 in Palma, where (during May and June of 1858) I met with it in 

 the laurel-region on the ascent to the Cumbre above Buenavista, as 

 well as in the Barranco de Galga. 



364. Tarphius monstrosus. 



Tarphius monstrosus, Wott., Append, huj. op. 20. 

 Habitat Canarienses (Gom.), in lauretis humidis vulgaris. 



A very large and well-defined species, which was discovered by 

 the Messrs. Crotch, during their late Canarian expedition, in the 

 laurel -regions of Gomera where it appears to be common, at a high 

 elevation. 



365. Tarphius gigas. 



Tarphius gigas, Wott., Journ. of Ent. i. 386, pi. 19. f. 7 (1862).

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in humidis sylvaticis rarissimus. 



Likewise a very large Tarphius, and essentially a Canarian one, 

 being peculiar to the sylvan regions of Teneriffe. It is evidently 

 extremely rare, the only two specimens which I have seen having 

 been taken on the mountains towards Taganana and Point Anaga, 

 during my sojourn there in May 1859. 



366. Tarphius caudatus. 



Tarphius caudatus, Wott., Journ. of Ent. i. 386, pi. 19. f. 8 (1862).

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in iisdem locis ac prsecedens.
