461. Telopes anthrenoides. 



Telopes anthrenoides, Woll, Cat. Can. Col 159 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Can.), in aridis arenosis parce lectus. 



Found hitherto only in Grand Canary, where I captured a few 

 specimens of it in the dry sandy region of Maspalomas (in the ex- 

 treme south of that island). 



462. Telopes multifasciatus. 



Telopes multifasciatus, Woll, Ann. Nat. Hist. xi. 218 (1863). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col 159 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can.), ad flores varies sed praesertim Cistorum 

 in intermediis editioribusque vulgaris. 



Likewise peculiar (so far as observed hitherto) to Grand Canary, 

 where it abounds during the spring months at intermediate and lofty 

 elevations. It occurs on various kinds of flowers, but prefers those 

 of the Cistus monspeliensis. 



463. Telopes fasciatus. 



Telopes fasciatus, Woll, Ann. Nat. Hist. xi. 218 (1863). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 160 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Gom., Palmd), ad flores in subinferioribus 

 intennediisque hinc inde vulgatissimus. 



Abounds at rather low and intermediate altitudes in Teneriffe, 

 Gomera, and Palma, where it takes the place of the multifasciatus 

 of Grand Canary, and the obtusus of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. 

 We may expect it to be found likewise in Hierro.
