HALTICID.E. 365 



This European species is widely spread over these Atlantic islands, 

 where it occurs on the leaves of Echium (particularly the E. violaceum, 

 L.) at intermediate elevations. It has been found in Madeira proper 

 and Porto Santo (by the late Messrs. F. A. Anderson and Bewicke, 

 respectively), and in Grand Canary, Teneriffe, Gomera, and Palma 

 of the Canarian Group.

 Ten.) in locis similibus ac praecedens. 



Likewise a European Longitarsus, and one which has precisely 

 the same habits as the last species with which indeed it is often 

 found in company. It has been obtained from the Great Salvage 

 by the Barao do Castello de Paiva ; and it has been captured (upon 

 the Echium violaceum) in the Canarian islands of Fuerteventura and 

 Teneriffe.

A noble Longitarsus which is peculiar (so far as observed hitherto) 

 to the intermediate and lofty elevations of Madeira proper, where it 

 is attached to the robust leaves of the gigantic Echium candicans* 

 the large shrubs of which form so marked a feature on the damp 

 rocks principally within the sylvan districts.

Strictly the representative in the Canaries of the Madeiran L.
