635. Notiomimus fimicola. 



Notiomimus fimicola, Wott., loc. cit. 17 (18G1). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 247 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Fuert,), in stercore arido bovino, equino, 

 camelino latens. 



Apparently peculiar to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the two 

 eastern islands of the Canarian Group, where it resides (exclusively, 

 so far as I have yet observed) within the dried dung of oxen, horses, 

 and camels, especially in the most arid and dusty spots. 



636. Notiomimus holosericeus. 



Notiomimus holosericeus, Woll, loc. cit. 17 (1861). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 248 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Palma), rarissimus. 



Likewise Canarian, and apparently exceedingly scarce the only two 

 examples of it which I have seen having been captured, one of them 

 by Mr. Gray in Palma, and the other by Dr. Crotch in Teneriffe. 



637. Notiomimus punctulatissimus. 



Notiomimus punctulatissimus, Woll., loc. cit. 17 (1861). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 248 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can.), semel tantum deprehensus. 



Hitherto unique a single example having been taken by myself, 

 during April 1858, in the south of Grand Canary.

 et Berth. (Col) W (1838). 



, Woll, Ann. Nat. Hist. vii. 18 (1861). 



, Id., Cat. Can. Col. 249 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses ( Ten., Gom., Hierro), in ligno antiquo pra3sertim 

 Fid necnon circa domos et in cultis late difrusum. 



* The last Berlin Catalogue cites the A. villosum of Brulle as identical with 

 Illiger's hirtum, from southern Europe ; but, judging from an example of the 

 latter now before me, I can hardly regard it as conspecific with the Canarian 

 insect, although undoubtedly much resembling it; for it is not only smaller 

 and with longer pubescence, but its prothorax is differently shaped and exceedingly 

 gibbous on the hinder disk (where there is only a slight glabrous line or keel in
