CERAMBICIDjE. 343 



A Longicorn of Mediterranean latitudes which occurs sparingly 

 in and about houses in Madeira proper, where it has doubtless been 

 established from more northern countries.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.} et Canarienses (Ten.), circa domos in 

 oppidis parce occurrens ; certe ex alienis introductus. 



This widely spread European insect has established itself both at 

 the Madeiras and Canaries, in both of which it would however 

 appear to be scarce. It occurs in and about the houses of Funchal, 

 in Madeira proper ; and I have taken it, in similar situations, at 

 S ta CruzinTeneriffe.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), sub cortice laxoin castanetis intermediis 

 parce latens ; forsan ex Europa introductus. 



Pound sparingly in the chestnut-woods of intermediate elevations 

 in Madeira proper, where most likely it has been introduced acci- 

 dentally from higher latitudes. I have observed it principally at 

 S ta Anna, in the north of the island.
