in Gomera, during his first Canarian campaign ; and further material 

 would be desirable, in order to complete our knowledge of the insig- 

 nificant little species of which it is the exponent. 



814. Apion fallax. 



Apion fallax, Woll, Cat. Can. Col. 313 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz.,Can., Ten., Palma, Hierro], in inferioribus 

 intermediisque, passim. 



Doubtless universal throughout the Canarian Group, Fuerteventura 

 and Gomera (in both of which we may nevertheless be pretty sure 

 that it exists) being the only islands of the seven in which it does 

 not happen to have been observed. It is found at low and inter- 

 mediate altitudes ; and, although quite distinct from them specifically, 

 it may be regarded as the representive in the Canaries of either the 

 A. violaceum or the A. Tiydrolapaihi of more northern latitudes. 



815. Apion ceuthorhynchoides. 



Apion ceuthorhynchoides, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 314 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), a Dom. Gray semel deprehensum. 



A small and robust Canarian Apion which is hitherto unique 

 a single example having been captured by Mr. Gray, during the 

 winter of 1858, near the Puerto Orotava in Teneriffe. 



816. Apion rotundipenne. 



Apion rotundipenne, Woll., Ins. Mad. 415, tab. viii. f. 6 (1854).

Habitat Maderenses (Mad., P to S to , Des.) et Canarienses (Can., Ten., 

 Gom,, Palma, Hierro), praesertim in cultis Vicias destruens. 



Probably universal throughout these Atlantic islands, where it 

 occurs at low and intermediate elevations, chiefly on the species of 

 Vicia in semicultivated spots. It is locally abundant in Madeira 

 proper, Porto Santo, and the Deserta Grande, of the Madeiran Group ; 

 whilst it has been observed in all the Canarian islands except the 

 two eastern ones Lanzarote and Puerteventura. Its detection in 

 Gomera is due to the researches of the Messrs. Crotch.
