Habitat Maderenses (Des.) et Canarienses (Ten., Gom., Hierro) t fsans- 

 simus. 



Found very rarely both in the Madeiran and Canarian Groups. 

 From the former indeed I have seen hitherto but a single example, 

 which was captured by myself (in 1850) on the Deserta Grande ; 

 but at the Canaries I have taken it sparingly in Teneriffe and Hierro 

 in the latter of which islands, as well as in Gomera, a few speci- 

 mens were met with (during the summer of 1864) by the Messrs. 

 Crotch.

 Smicronyx pauperculus, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 317 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can., Ten., Hierro}, in inferioribus interme-

Occurs in much the same places as the last species, though only 

 (so far as has been observed hitherto) at the Canarian Group. It is 

 found at low and intermediate altitudes ; and the smaller examples 

 of it descend to a most minute size. I have taken it in Grand Canary 

 and Teneriffe, and a single specimen was captured by the Messrs. 

 Crotch in Hierro.

I do not believe that the few Atlantic examples of Procas which 

 I have yet seen are distinct from the picipes of Marsham ; for 

 although it is under the name of Steveni that the more southern
