STAPHYLIXIDJL 



1331. Mycetoporus adumbratus. 



Mycetoporus adumbratus, Wall, Append. Imj. op. 71. 

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), a DD. Crotch semel repertus. 



Hitherto unique, a single specimen having been found by the 

 Messrs. Crotch in Teneriffe in the Final above Ycod el Alto. As 

 stated in the Appendix, it is closely allied to the M. solidicornis 

 from which it differs however in the greater portion of its prothorax 

 and elytra being black (instead of rufo-testaceous), in its four pro- 

 thoracic punctures being further removed from the anterior margin, 

 and in its antennae being a little less abbreviated. 



1332. Mycetoporus solidicornis. 



Mycetoporus solidicornis, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 559 (1864). 

 Habitat Canarienses (Can.), in intermediis parcissime lectus. 



The only two examples which I have yet seen of this species were 

 taken by myself, in the region of El Monte, in Grand Canary. 



1333. Mycetoporus discoideus. 



Mycetoporus discoideus, WolL, Append, hvj. op. 71. 

 Habitat Canarienses (Ten.), a DD. Crotch semel deprehensus. 



As stated in the Appendix, a single specimen of this Mycetoporus 

 was captured in Teneriffe by the Messrs. Crotch during their late 

 Canarian campaign having been found, I believe, near Ycod el 

 Alto. It is far from unlikely that future material may prove it to 

 be conspecific with the M. solidicornis, from which it seems to 

 differ principally in its larger bulk, and in the infuscated portion of 

 its elytra being more expressed, and more concentrated into a 

 darkish patch on the hinder disk of each. And I think it very pro- 

 bable that when further examples have been obtained, these differ- 

 ences of size and colour will be found insufficient for upholding the 

 discoideus as distinct from the solidicornis.
