Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (in Gom. sola baud

A cosmopolitan insect wbicb bas doubtless become naturalized in 

 at any rate all tbe inhabited islands of these Atlantic Groups 

 occurring about bouses and granaries, as well as beneath the refuse 

 around the base of corn-stacks. It is common in Madeira proper ; 

 whilst at the Canaries it has been observed in the whole seven islands 

 except Gomera, where doubtless however it must exist.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (ins. omnes), vulgaris; 

 in locis similibus ac prascedens. 



Found in the same kind of places as the last species, and equally 

 universal. At Madeira however it is perhaps less common than it 

 is at the Canaries, in the whole seven islands of which it has com- 

 pletely established itself.

 Nanophyes longulus, WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 299 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can., Ten.), super folia plantarum in herbidis 

 humidiusculis rarior. 



A Canarian Nanophyes which has been observed hitherto only in 

 Grand Canary and Teneriffe. It appears to be rare, and occurs 

 amongst dense vegetation in rather damp spots of intermediate 

 altitudes. My Grand-Canarian examples are from Mogan and the 

 region of El Monte, and the TenerifFan ones from Souzal.
