CURCULIONID.E. 



287 



Captured by myself, rather abundantly, off the bushes of a yel- 

 low-flowered Ononis (the 0. natrix, L.) in Grand Canary in the 

 Barranco de Mogan, towards the south-west of that island. I think 

 that it does not recede sufficiently from the T. decoratus, which is 

 found in the south of Spain, to be separated from that species ; 

 nevertheless I stated in my Canarian Catalogue that if future inves- 

 tigations should prove it to be distinct, I would then (having already 

 given a full description) propose for it the trivial name of gloriosus.

Habitat Maderenses (P to S to ), in aridis calcariis inferioribus parcis- 

 sime lectus. 



Found in Porto Santo, of the Madeiran Group the only two 

 specimens yet detected having been captured by myself in the low 

 calcareous district of the Zimbral d'Areia, in the east of that island. 



795. Tychius depauperatus. 

 Tychius depauperatus, Wall, Cat. Can. Col 303 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Fuert.), rarissimus. Sub lapide in inferioribus 

 submaritimis exemplaria duo deprehendi. 



An insignificant little species which I have taken only in Fuerte- 

 ventura, of the Canarian Group, where I captured two examples of it 

 from beneath a stone in a low sandy spot (at the edges of the coast- 

 road) about three miles to the north of the Puerto de Cabras.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), folia pomorum in cultis destruens. 



Detected by the late Mr. Bewicke, and found subsequently by 

 myself, on the foliage of apple- and pear-trees (in cultivated grounds) 

 on the southern side of Madeira proper, from a short distance above 

 Funchal to almost the elevation of " the Mount," It is not unlikely
