STAPHYLINID^E. 485 



The few specimens which I have yet seen of this Canarian Boli- 

 tobius were captured by myself in the laurel- districts of TenerifFe 

 namely, at the Agua Garcia and on the wooded mountains above 

 Taganana. 



1335. Bolitobius filicornis. 



Bolitobius filicornis, WolL, Cat Can. Col 560 (1854). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can., Ten., Hierro), in sylvaticis subsylva- 

 ticisque intermediis parcissime lectus. 



Likewise a Canarian species, and one which (although evidently 

 rare) will probably be found to be widely spread over the sylvan 

 and subsylvan districts of the Group. It has been taken in Grand 

 Canary, TeneriiFe, and Hierro. 



(Subfam. III. QUEDIIDES.) 



Genus 397. EURYPORUS. 

 Erichson, Kaf. der Mark Brand, i. 496 (1839). 



1336. Euryporus princeps. 



Euryporus princeps, Woll., Cat. Can. Col. 561 (1864). 



Habitat Canarienses (Can."), rarissimus. Sub lapide ad marginem 

 rivuli cujusdam parvi prope oppidum Teror exemplar unicum 

 cepi. 



A noble Staphylinid of which I have seen hitherto but a single 

 example. It was taken by myself, during April 1858, in Grand 

 Canary under a wet stone at the edge of the small river at Teror, 

 in the intermediate elevations of that island. 



Genus 398. HETEROTHOPS. 



(Kirby) Steph., III. Brit. Ent. v. 256 (1832). 



1337. Heterothops minutus. 



Heterothops minutus, Wott., Ann. Nat. Hist. vi. 53 (1860). 

 , Id., Cat. Can. Col. 562 (1864). 



Habitat IVIaderenses (Mad.) et Canarienses (ins. omnes), sub quis- 

 quiliis in inferioribus sed praecipue intermediis parum vulgaris. 



Somewhat allied to the European H. dissimilis, though certainly 

 distinct from it. It is very widely spread over these Atlantic 

 Groups, where in all probability it is nearly universal occurring
