Habitat Canarienses (Can.), sub lapidibus ubique vulgaris. 



The universal Hegeter in Grand Canary, to which island it seems 

 to be peculiar. Like most of the species, it presents many slight 

 local modifications in size, breadth, and its more or less crumpled 

 (or corrugated) surface ; but all the states that I have yet seen pass 

 into each other by imperceptible gradations. It is more particularly 

 common in dry cindery districts of intermediate altitudes, and 

 abounds throughout the region of El Monte. 



1095. Hegeter subrotundatus. 



Hegeter subrotundatus, Woll, Cat. Can. Col 459 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Can.), sub lapidibus parce deprehensus. 



It is barely possible that the three examples from which my 

 diagnosis of this Hegeter was compiled may be but extreme aberra- 

 tions of the H. impressus ; nevertheless they certainly cannot repre- 

 sent any local state of that species, for they were found in company 

 with it in the south of Grand Canary. Although therefore I be- 

 lieve the H. subrotundatus to be truly distinct, future and more 

 extensive material can alone decide whether I am correct in that 

 conclusion. 



1096. Hegeter tenuipunctatus.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), sub lapidibus in regionibus valde elevatis 

 latens. Usque ad, vel etiam ultra, 9000' s. m. ascendit. 



A Teneriffan species which seems to occur only in very elevated 

 districts, from about 7000 to at least 9000 feet above the sea. On 

 the lofty Cumbre overlooking the Canadas I took it in profusion, 

 from under stones and scoriae amongst the bushes of the Eetama. 



1097. Hegeter later alls.
