Habitat Canarienses (Gom., Hierro), sub foliis dejectis a DD. Crotch 

 repertus. 



Detected by the Messrs. Crotch in Gomera and Hierro, of the 

 Canarian Group, by sifting dead leaves. Although scarce, they ob- 

 tained a tolerable series of it in the former of those islands ; but in 

 Hierro they met with only two examples.

Of the European S. tarsatus six examples were taken in Teneriffe

 have yet seen from these Atlantic islands.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), a W. D. Crotch semel deprehensus. 



A single example of what seems to me to be perfectly conspecific

 Teneriffe during his first expedition to the Canaries ; but it is the 

 only one which I have yet seen from these islands.
