PSELAPHID^E. 451 



in the densely wooded region at the Montado dos Pacegueiros, in 

 the north of Madeira proper ; and it was met with by the late Mr. 

 Bewicke at Campanario and the Fanal. 



In the E. intermedius the head is less coarsely and less closely 

 punctured, and the eye is appreciably smaller, than in the E. Kar- 

 stenii; and its antennae have their subclaval joints less evidently 

 thickened, the club being scarcely composed of more than a single 

 articulation. Apart from other microscopic characters, this compa- 

 rative smallness of the eye and anteclaval joints will serve to sepa- 

 rate it from the European E. siynatus (which it very greatly resem- 

 bles) ; whilst its head also is perhaps somewhat more punctured and 

 less deeply foveolated, and its elytra are a little shorter, than is the 

 case in that insect.

Habitat Maderenses (Mad.), a Dom. Bewicke sub recremento ad 

 basin acervorum fceni sparso in intermediis parce captus. 



Two specimens which were taken by the late Mr. Bewicke in Ma- 

 deira proper I believe, under haystack refuse at S.Antonio da Serra 

 I refer in doubt to the European E. signatus ; for until further ma- 

 terial has been obtained for examination, I will not commit myself 

 to any positive statement concerning them. They seem to differ 

 from the mtermedius in being a trifle smaller, in having their an- 

 tennae a little shorter with the subclaval joints appreciably broader 

 and less perfoliate, in their eyes being just perceptibly larger, and in 

 their elytra being somewhat longer and less depressed. Their head 

 however is rather more punctured than is the case in the few spe- 

 cimens of the signatus with which I have compared them.

Habitat Canarienses (Ten., Gom.), sub lapidibus in inferioribus raris- 

 simus. 



A Canarian Pselaphid, which appears to be both rare and local. 

 The only spot in which I have myself taken it is close to S ta Cruz in
