446 ANTHICID^S. 



1227. Anthicus litoralis. 



Anthicus litoralis (Heer), Woll, Ins. Mad. 535 (1854). 

 , Id., Cat. Mad. Col. 165 (1857). 



Habitat Maderenses {Mad.}, in locis similibus ac praecedens. 



Observed hitherto only in Madeira proper, where it is not very 

 uncommon at rather low altitudes occurring in much the same 

 kind of places as the preceding species. 



1228. Anthicus dimidiatus. 



Anthicus dimidiatus, Woll, Cat. Can. Col. 521 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Lanz., Can., Gom.\ in inferioribus submari- 

 timis, preesertim salinis, minus frequens. 



Widely, though sparingly, diffused over the Canarian archipelago 

 where it occurs at low elevations, and principally in brackish 

 places near the coast. I have taken it at the Salinas both in the 

 north of Lanzarote and at Juan Grande in Grand Canary, as well as 

 by the edges of the salt lake of Januvio (towards the south-west of 

 the former of those islands) : anVl it has been found by the Messrs. 

 Crotch, below Hermigua, in Gomera. 



1229. Anthicus lapidosus. 

 Anthicus lapidosus, Woll, Cat. Can. Col. 521 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Gom.\ inter lapillos per margines aqua- 

 rum, vel stagnantium vel fluentium, sese occultans. 



Likewise Canarian, and found amongst wet shingle along the 

 margins of the streams and pools. I once met with it abundantly 

 in Teneriffe at the edge of a small pond in the Barranco Santo, 

 near S ta Cruz ; and it has been found by the Messrs. Crotch, under 

 much the same circumstances, in Gomera. In both instances it was 

 accompanied by the Perileptus nigritulus, and certain small Staphy- 

 linids of subaquatic habits. 



1230. Anthicus angustatus. 



Anthicus angustatus, Curt., Brit. Ent. fo. 714 (1838). 



, Steph., Man. 342 (1839). 



, Woll, Cat. Can. Col 522 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Fuert.), a Dom. Gray semel deprehensus. 

 A single specimen of this little European Anthicus was capture(
