CERAMBICID.E. 



A truly indigenous Longicorn both at the Madeiras and Canaries, 

 where it occurs in the damp laurel-woods of intermediate and rather 

 lofty elevations. It is not uncommon in Madeira proper; and I 

 have met with it, beneath the loosened bark of old trees, in Teneriffe 

 and Palma, of the Canarian Group ; whilst in Gomera it was found 

 by the Messrs. Crotch. 



Genus 288. OXYPLEURUS. 

 Mulsant, Longic. de France, 57 (1840). 



951. Oxypleurus Bewickii. 

 Blabinotus Bewickii, Woll, Cat. Mad. Col 126 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.}, rarissimus; sub cortice Pinorum mox 

 supra urbem Funchalensem a Dom. Bewicke deprehensus. 



Detected in Madeira proper by the late Mr. Bewicke, who captured 

 several examples of it beneath the bark of old pine trees (in his 

 garden at the Palmeira) above Funchal. 



952. Oxypleurus pinicola. 



Oxypleurus pinicola, Woll., Journ. of Ent. ii. 102 (1863). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 386 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Palma), in cono quodam Pini canariensis semel 

 repertus. 



The only example which I have yet seen of this Oxypleurus was 

 taken by myself from the interior of a dried cone of the Pinus canari- 

 ensisin Palma, of the Canarian Group, where it may probably be looked 

 upon as the representative of the Madeiran 0. Bewickii. It is indeed 

 closely allied to that species, as well as to the 0. Nodieri of southern 

 Europe ; but the characters which distinguish it from them both have 

 been fully pointed out in my Canarian Catalogue. 



Genus 289. CRIOCEPHALUS. 

 Mulsant, Longic. de France, 63 (1840). 



953. Criocephalus rusticus. 



Cerambyx rusticus, Linn., Fna Suec. 492 (1746). 



Callidium rusticum, BrulU, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 62 (1838). 



Criocephalus rusticus, Wott., Cat. Mad. Col. 124 (1857). 



, Id., Cat. Can. Col. 387 (1864). 



pinetorum, Id., ibid. 388 (1864). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad., Des.) et Canarienses (Ten., Palma, Hierro), 

 truncos arborum antiques emortuos in pinetis destruens.
