throughout the whole Canarian archipelago except in Lanzarote and 

 Hierro (in both of which, however, it must doubtless exist). I met 

 with it also at Mogadore, on the opposite coast of Africa. 



473. Acritus homceopathicus. 



Acritus homoeopathicus, WolL, Cat. Mad. Col. 77 (1857). 

 Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), semel tantum repertus. 



The only specimen which I have yet seen of this Acritus was 

 taken by myself in the north of Madeira proper, during August 

 1845. 



II. Prothorax simplex (lined punctorum ante basin hand impressus). 



474. Acritus punctum. 



Abraeus punctum, Aube, Ann. de la Soc. Ent. de France, 232 (1842). 

 Acritus punctum, De Mars., ibid, 607 (1856). 

 , Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 182 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Can.), per oras maritimas sub fucis 

 degens. 



The A. punctum, which is widely though sparingly distributed 

 along the sea-shores in central and southern Europe, occurs (though 

 very rarely) in the Canarian Group. I have taken it from beneath 

 marine rejectamenta in Lanzarote, and it was found by the Messrs. 

 Crotch near Las Palmas in Grand Canary. It will probably be 

 met with more generally, however, if searched for in the proper 

 situations. 



Genus 148. EIJBRACHIUM. 

 Wollaston, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. i. 159 (1862). 



475. Eubrachium politum. 



Eubrachium politum, WolL, loc. cit. 163 (1862). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col 182 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Hierro), sub cortice Euphorbiarum laxo 

 putrido rarissimum. 



A minute Canarian Histerid which seems to be attached to the 

 Euphorbias ; so that it will probably be found pretty generally when 

 searched for in the right places namely, beneath the loose rotting 

 bark of those singular plants. However, it is clearly rare, and has 

 been observed hitherto only in Lanzarote and Hierro.
