Habitat Maderenses (Mad.} et Canarienses (Gom., Hierro), in syl- 

 vaticis intermediis sub quisquiliis degens. 



A European insect which appears to be widely spread over the 

 sylvan districts of these Atlantic Groups where it occurs, beneath 

 leaves and other vegetable refuse, principally in damp spots of inter- 

 mediate altitudes. It abounds in the laurel-regions of Madeira 

 proper ; but of the Canaries, Hierro is the only island in which I 

 have myself taken it. The Messrs. Crotch however met with it in 

 Gom era, where they report it to be exceedingly common on the 

 wooded mountains above Hermigua.
