 Laparocerus debilis, Woll., Append, huj. op. 53. 

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), a DD. Crotch semel deprehensus. 



A single example of this Laparocerus (from which my diagnosis, 

 given in the Appendix, has been drawn up) was captured by th 

 Messrs. Crotch in Teneriffe, during their late expedition to the Ca- 

 naries ; and although it seems to be perfectly distinct from everything 

 else here enumerated, it is evident that further material must be 

 obtained before our knowledge of the species can be regarded as 

 satisfactory. 



900. Laparocerus vestitus. 



Laparocerus vestitus, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 358 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), sub lapidibus in inferioribus latens. 



Rather a common Laparocerus at low elevations in Teneriffe, where 

 it occurs beneath stones in dry and cindery spots. It is abundant 

 around the Puerto Orotava, and tolerably so near S ta Cruz ; but the 

 examples from the latter region, which I have indicated as the 

 " var. /3. affinis," differ a little from those (regarded by me as typical) 

 from the former though not sufficiently so, I think, to admit of 

 their being treated as specifically distinct.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Palma, Hierro), in intermediis editiori- 

 busque hinc inde vulgaris. 



One of the most widely spread of the Canarian Laparoceri over 

 at any rate the central and western islands of the archipelago, being 

 locally abundant at intermediate and lofty altitudes (both in the 

 sylvan districts and above them). Though at all times small, it 

 varies a good deal in size being for the most part more largely 

 developed within the wooded regions than elsewhere.
