Habitat Maderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (Fuert., Ten., Grow.), trine 

 inde in domibus mercatorumque repositories., 



An almost cosmopolitan insect which has become established, 

 through the medium of commerce, both in the Madeiran and Canarian 

 Groups where it occurs sparingly about houses and stores. It is 

 not uncommon in Madeira proper; and it has been captured in 

 Fuerteveatura, Teneriffe,. and Gomera > of the Canaries.

Habitat Canarienses (Lam.), rarissima ; in saEnis necnon sub fucis 

 per oram arenosam maritimam fodiens. 



Observed hitherto only in Lanzarote, of the Canarian Group, 

 where it would appear to be both extremely rare and perfectly 

 indigenous. The very few examples of it which I have yet seen 

 were found by myself, in salt places, at the level of the sea-shore 

 namely, at the Salinas in the extreme north of the island, and under 

 marine rejectamenta on the sandy beach to the south of Arrecife. It 

 is so closely allied to an insect from the Cape de Verdes, which I 

 described as the P. angusta, that I am doubtful whether it should 

 be regarded as more than a slight geographical modification of it.
