until further material lias been obtained for inspection, it is difficult 

 to pronounce definitely concerning it. The only example which I 

 have seen was captured by myself in the Eio Palmas of Fuerte- 

 ventura, in the Canarian Group.

A Cossyplius of Mediterranean latitudes which is apparently found 

 in Teneriffe ; but it is most remarkable that, whilst I have received 

 it from no less than five different quarters as having been captured 

 in that island, it should totally have escaped my own observations

 unquestionably to have been taken by several naturalists most of 

 whom merely touched at the Canaries, and who paid but little or no 

 attention to general collecting*.
