Hylastes Lowei, Paiva, Ann. Nat. Hist. viii. 211 (1861). 

 , Woll, Cat. Can. Col 269 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Palma), in ligno Pini canariensis antique 

 emortuo hinc inde vulgaris. 



Very closely allied to the European H. ater, of which possibly it 

 may be but a geographical state. Hitherto it has been observed 

 only in Teneriffe and Palma, of the Canarian Group, where like the 

 Hylurgus ligniperda it is attached to the pine trees of intermediate 

 and lofty elevations. "We may, however, expect to meet with it 

 wherever the old Pinals still exist.

Hylastes clavus, Woll, Ins. Mad. 305 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col 100 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), sub cortice truncisque arborum prolapsis 

 in subinferioribus intermediisque parce occurrens. 



Found hitherto only in Madeira proper, where it occurs very spa- 

 ringly (beneath bark, and logs of wood) at low and intermediate 

 elevations. 



703. Hylastes trifolii. 



Hylesinus trifolii, Mutt., in Journ. Soc. des S. du Mont Tonnerre (1803).

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.}, rarior ; in locis similibus ac pracedens. 



A European Hylastes which occurs in Madeira proper in much 

 the same sort of places as the last species, and with nearly the same 

 range.
