884. Laparocems hirtus. 



Laparocerus hirtus, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 348 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Can.}, in editioribus semel deprehensus. 



A single example, taken by myself at a high altitude on tne 

 mountains of Grand Canary, embodies all that I yet know about 

 this Laparocerus ; and although I believe it to be truly distinct from 

 the incequalis, further material would nevertheless be desirable in 

 order to ascertain for certain that it is no insular modification of 

 that species. 



885. Laparocerus inaequalis. 



Laparocerus inaequalis, Woll., Ann. Nat. Hist. xi. 220 (1863). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 348 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.\ in lauretis humidis editioribus minus 

 frequens. 



A Canarian species which is peculiar (so far as I have observed 

 hitherto) to the damp laurel-districts of Teneriffe, where I have 

 brushed it off rank vegetation on the densely wooded mountains 

 above Taganana. 



886. Laparocerus globulipennis. 

 Laparocerus globulipennis, Woll, Cat. Can. Col. 349 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Palma), in locis similibus ac praecedens raris- 

 simus. 



Likewise Canarian, and found in much the same sort of places as 

 the last species only in Palma instead of Teneriffe. It appears to 

 be extremely rare, two specimens which were taken by myself in 

 the Barranco de Galga being all that I have yet seen. 



887. Laparocerus occidentalis. 



Laparocerus occidentalis, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 350 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Hierro), in sylvaticis humidis excelsis semel 

 captus. 



Hitherto unique a single example having been taken by myself 

 at a high elevation in the sylvan district of Hierro, the most western 

 island of the Canarian Group. Although apparently quite distinct 

 inter se, the present species and the three preceding ones belong to 

 much the same type of form ; and they may perhaps be regarded as 

 the representatives of each other in their respective islands.
