MALACHIAD^K. 197 



Found by Dr. Crotch (rather abundantly) in Teneriffe, during his 

 Canarian expedition of 1862 ; and he had also a single example of 

 it amongst his material from Gomera. I think however that further 

 evidence would be desirable for the latter habitat before it can be 

 considered to be perfectly established, for it is of course within the 

 range of possibility that one of Dr. Crotch's Teneriffan specimens 

 may have become mixed up accidentally with his Gomeran collection. 



The A. pallipes is nearly related to the rujt-collis, but its many 

 distinctions (chiefly, however, of colour) have been fully pointed out 

 in my Canarian Catalogue.

Peculiar apparently to the intermediate and (more especially) lofty 

 elevations of Palma, in the Canarian Group where it has been taken, 

 successively, by Mr. Gray, myself, and Dr. Crotch.

Taken by Mr. Gray and myself (on the hills above San Sebastian) 

 in Gomera, of the Canarian Group, during February 1858 ; but it 

 has not yet been detected elsewhere.

Habitat Canarienses (ins. omnes), ad flores varies, passim. 



The most widely spread of all the Canarian Attali, it having now 

 been detected in the whole seven islands of the archipelago; for 

 although until lately it had not been observed in Hierro, six examples 

 are now before me from that island which were found by the Messrs. 

 Crotch at a high elevation in the sylvan district of El Golf o close to
