1125. Crypticus canariensis. 



Crypticus glaber, Br. [nee Fab.'], in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 69 (1838). 

 canariensis, Wott., Cat. Can. Col 481 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), sub lapidibus foliisque dejectis in inter- 

 mediis editiorib usque occurrens. Per regiones sylvaticas usque 

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



Widely spread over the intermediate and lofty elevations of Tene- 

 riife, but it has not yet been detected in any of the other islands. 

 It occurs both in the sylvan districts and on the lofty, open Cumbres 

 above them ascending to an altitude of more than 9000 feet. The 

 examples from the latter regions differ a little from those in less 

 elevated spots ; but the points of difference are very slight, and the 

 two forms merge gradually into each other. 



1126. Crypticus nitidulus. 

 Crypticus nitidulus, Wott., Append. hitj. op. 60. 



Habitat Canarienses (Gom.), a DD. Crotch parce deprehensus. 



A few examples of this comparatively shining and deeply punc- 

 tured Crypticus were taken in Gomera by the Messrs. Crotch, during 

 their late expedition to the Canaries. The characters which distin- 

 guish it from its allies have been fully pointed out in the Appendix. 



1127. Crypticus oblongus. 

 Crypticus oblongus, Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 482 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Gom., Hierro), in intennediis editioribus- 

 que late diffusus. 



Widely diffused over the intermediate and lofty elevations of Tene- 

 riffe, Gomera, and Hierro, in the Canarian Group, occurring beneath 

 stones and fallen leaves. Its detection in Gomera is due to the late 

 researches of the Messrs. Crotch. The examples from Hierro have 

 their sculpture just perceptibly finer than those from Teneriffe, and 

 the Gomeran ones than those from Hierro. 



1128. Crypticus minutus. 



Crypticus minutus, Bridle, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 69 (1838). 

 , Wott., Cat. Can. Col. 483 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can.), in intermediis et editioribus rarior. 



Two specimens only, with the exception of M. Brulle's type (which 

 I examined, when in Paris), of this comparatively minute Crypticus
