Taken rather abundantly in Grand Canary off some shrubs of the 

 Tamarisc gallica, L., at the edges of the stream at Mogan, in one of 

 the south-western Barrancos of that island ; but it has not yet been 

 observed elsewhere.

 parce occurrens. 



The European C. pulchellus occurs sparingly in Madeira proper, 

 on plants of Scrofularia, at intermediate elevations ; but it has not

 pyrrhorhynchus, WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 281 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Fuert.), in cultis intermediis parce deprehensus. 



Likewise a common European insect, and one which I have taken 

 sparingly in Puerteventura of the Canarian Group namely, at Oliva 

 and at the Agua Bueyes. It seems to occur in and about cultivated 

 grounds, and may perhaps have been naturalized accidentally from 

 more northern countries.
