Anobium cryptophagoides, WolL, Cat, Can. Col. 250 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Hierro), rarissime ; semel repertum. 



Hitherto unique, a single example having been captured by myse 

 at a low elevation on the western side of Hierro in the Canarian 

 Group. 



643. Anobium impressum. 

 Anobium impressum, WolL, Append, hit/, op. 35. 

 Habitat Canarienses (Hierro), a DD. Crotch semel tantum lectum. 



Likewise unique, and confined apparently to Hierro, the single 

 specimen from which my diagnosis has been compiled having been 

 taken by the Messrs. Crotch during their late Canarian expedition. 



644. Anobium molle. 



Dermestes mollis, Linn., Fna Suec. 415 (1761). 

 Anobium molle, WolL, Cat. Mad. Col. 93 (1857). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 250 (1864). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (Palma), Pinos antiquas 

 parcissime destruens. 



The European A. molle occurs sparingly on pine-trees, above 

 "Funchal, in Madeira proper ; and I also obtained a single example 

 of it (dead) within the dried cone of a Pinus canariensis in the island 

 of Palma, the only Canarian example which I have yet seen. 



645. Anobium lyctoides. 



Anobium lyctoides, WolL, Append, huj. op. 35. 



Habitat Canarienses (Gom.), rarissimum. Exemplar unicum cepe- 

 runt, DD. Crotch. 



The single example of this Anobium from which my diagnosis has 

 been compiled was captured by the Messrs. Crotch in Gomera, during 

 their expedition to the Canaries in the summer of 1864. 



646. Anobium oculatum. 



Anobium oculatum, WolL, Append, huj. op. 36. 

 Habitat Canarienses (Gom.), a DD. Crotch parcissime deprehensum. 



Detected by the Messrs. Crotch in Gomera, during their late 

 sojourn at the Canaries. It was captured very sparingly, and, I 

 believe, out of a dead Euphorbia.
