COLYDIAD^E. 129 



such seems far from improbable, for the specimen was taken in the 

 immediate vicinity of some dried stems of the E. piscatoria which 

 had been brought (some months before) from Porto Novo, in the east 

 of the island.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Palma, Hierro), sub cortice Pini canari- 

 ensis rarissimum. 



May perhaps be regarded as the Canarian representative of the A. 

 bicolor of Europe, though quite distinct from that insect specifically. 

 It is apparently very rare, and confined to the old Pinals of inter- 

 mediate and rather lofty altitudes. In such situations I have taken 

 it both in Teneriffe and Palma, beneath the loose rotting bark of 

 Pinus canariensis ; and it was found by the Messrs. Crotch in the 

 remote, but elevated, Pinal in the south of Hierro. 



Genus 111. AGLENUS.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), et Canarienses (in Canarid sola adhuc 

 hand observatus), praBsertim sub recremento farris circa basin 

 acervorum tritici sparse, vulgaris. 



The European A. brunneus is tolerably common, beneath refuse 

 generally, around Funchal in Madeira proper ; whilst at the Canaries 

 it is still more abundant, and almost certainly universal ; for although 

 it does not happen hitherto to have been observed in Grand Canary, 

 there can be no doubt that it must exist there (as in the other six 

 islands of the Group, in which it has been taken plentifully). Its 

 Canarian habitat is, principally, under the rubbish which has accu- 

 mulated around the base of corn-stacks.
