The European B. pisi is widely spread over these Atlantic Groups, 

 where it has doubtless become established from higher latitudes. 

 It occurs more particularly in pea-fields, but may be found in cul- 

 tivated spots generally as well as in granaries and about houses. 

 It has been taken in Madeira proper, and in the whole seven islands 

 of the Canarian archipelago.

 cultis. 



A more abundant European Bruchus than the B. pisi, and one 

 which has probably (like the latter) become naturalized in these 

 Atlantic Groups, from more northern countries. It occurs for the 

 most part about houses and cultivated grounds under which cir- 

 cumstances it has been taken in Madeira proper, as well as in the 

 whole seven of the Canarian islands.

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), in intermediis parce captus. 



Two specimens of this Bruchus were captured by myself in Tene- 

 riffe on the mountains above S ta Cruz ; and a third is now before 

 me, taken (likewise in Teneriffe) by the Messrs. Crotch, which seems 

 to differ from my own, merely, in being free from the small, robust, 

 upwardly-directed, subbifid spine, or process, at the inner apical
