 Laparocerus obtriangularis, WolL, Cat. Can. Col. 351 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), rarissimus ; in sylvaticis editioribus hu- 

 midis semel tantum repertus. 



A single (female) example of this Canarian Laparocerus is all that 

 I have yet seen of the species. It was taken bj myself in the inter- 

 mediate districts of Teneriffe I believe, at the Agua Mansa. Al- 

 though thoroughly distinct from everything else here enumerated, its 

 diagnosis can scarcely be regarded as complete until the male sex 

 has also been examined.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Gom., Palma), vel sub cortice laxo vel 

 inter inuscos et lichenes ad truncos arborum nascentes in syl- 

 vaticis editioribus latitans. 



A large and curious Laparocerus which is widely spread over the 

 central and western islands of the Canarian archipelago, where it 

 occurs in the sylvan districts of intermediate and lofty altitudes. I 

 have taken it in Teneriffe and Palma; and it was found by the 

 Messrs. Crotch, during the summer of 1864, in Gomera.

 Laparocerus inflatus, WoU., Append, htij. op. 5 1 . 



Habitat Canarienses (Gom.). a DD. Crotch semel deprehensus. 



A single specimen of this large and distinct Laparocerus was taken 

 by the Messrs. Crotch in the sylvan districts of Gomera, during their 

 late Canarian campaign.

Laparocerus lepidopterus, WoU., Cat. Can. Col. 352 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can.?, Ten., Palma, Hierro), in intermediis 

 sylvaticis, passim. 



"Widely (though sparingly) diffused over the sylvan districts in the 

 Canarian Group, where it occurs at intermediate and lofty elevations. 

 I have captured it in Teneriffe, Palma, and Hierro ; in the last of 

 which it was found likewise by the Messrs. Crotch. I also met
