This curious little insect, so suggestive at first sight of the common 

 Olibrus Stephensii (or liquidus), is locally abundant around Funchal 

 in Madeira proper where it was originally detected by Mr. M. Park. 

 It occurs principally in gardens, under dry vegetable refuse ; but it 

 is also found occasionally in the nests of ants.

Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Fuert.), ubique vulgaris. 



Abounds in the two eastern islands of the Canarian Group Lan- 

 zarote and Fuerteventura, in which it would appear to be universal ; 

 and I likewise met with it on the small adjacent islets of Graciosa and 

 Lobos, off the extreme north of the former and latter respectively.
