Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), foliis Physalidis aristatce in apricis infe- 

 rioribus gaudens. 



A Canarian *Haltica which I have observed hitherto only in the 

 north of Teneriffe in hot cindery spots of a low elevation around 

 the Puerto Orotava. It is closely allied to the European //. atropce, 

 and is attached to the foliage of the Physalis aristata a shrub 

 intimately related to the Atropa belladonna, on which its more 

 northern representative exclusively subsists. 



993. Haltica ventralis.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad., P to S to ), in inferioribus haud infrequens. 



The European H. ventralis occurs at low elevations in Madeira 

 proper and Porto Santo, of the Madeiran Group being rather scarce 

 in the former island, but tolerably common in the latter. 



994. Haltica lubrica. 

 Haltica lubrica, Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 406 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), a W. D. Crotch semel deprehensa. 



A single specimen of this Haltica was taken by Dr. Crotch in 

 Teneriffe, during his first Canarian campaign (in the spring of 1862). 

 The many characters which distinguish it from the ventralis, to 

 which it is allied, have been fully pointed out in my diagnosis.
