Genus 299. CEIOCEEIS.

970. Crioceris asparagi. 



Chrysomela asparagi, Linn., Fna Suec. 507 (1761). 

 Crioceris aspara<?i, Fab., Ent. Syst. i. ii. 10 (1792). 



f Woll, Ins. Mad. 437 (1854). 



, Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 129 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), in cultis rarissima ; forsan ex Europa 

 introducta. 



I am doubtful whether this common European Crioceris should 

 any longer be included in the fauna of these Atlantic islands, two 

 specimens, which were taken many years ago (near Funchal) in 

 Madeira proper by the late Dr. Heineken, embodying the entire 

 evidence, up to the present date, on which its claim for admission 

 rests. Still, as it has already been published as Madeiran, and since 

 it is certainly possible that it may be found to occur even on the 

 indigenous species of Asparagus, I will not venture to suppress it. 



971. Crioceris nigropicta. 

 Crioceris nigropicta, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 394 (1864). 



Habitat Canaricnses (Can.), rarissima; ad folia Arundinis donacis 

 in intermediis parcissime deprehensa. 



An extremely rare, and most elegant, species which I have ob- 

 served hitherto only in Grand Canary, where I obtained four 

 examples of it off some plants of the Arundo donax, at Mogan, in a 

 Barranco towards the south-west of that island.
