4O APPENDIX. 



1864, in Gomera. The species which they represent is exceedingly 

 distinct from the few other members of the genus which have 

 hitherto heen detected in these Atlantic islands. It may be known 

 by its small size and rather narrow elongate outline (which is just 

 perceptibly attenuated in front), by its ferruginous hue and densely 

 punctured surface (neither the punctures nor the minute setae having 

 any tendency on the elytra to be disposed in longitudinal rows), and 

 by the clypeus of its male sex being thickened in the centre into 

 a pair of obtuse (or but slightly raised), approximated, medial 

 tubercles. 



Cis puucticollis. 



C. cylindricus, niger, setulis brevibus suberectis pallidioribus obsitus ; 

 prothorace convexo, subopaco, alutaceo, argute punctulato, antice 

 minus producto ; elytris subnitidis, subseriatim punctatis punctis- 

 que minoribus intermediis irroratis ; antennis pedibusque pallidi- 

 oribus. Long. corp. lin. |-1. 



Mas clypeo utrinque in processum brevem sublamelliformem vix 

 angulatim producto. 



Cis puncticollis, WolL, Ann. Nat. Hist. v. 360 (1860). 



Habitat Maderam, in castanetis longe supra urbem Funchalensem a 

 Dom. Bewicke olim rcpertus ; necnon etiam in pinetis Teneriffae

Fam. TOMICIMI. 



Genus APHANARTHRUM. 

 Wollaston, Ins. Mad. 292 (1854). 



Aphanarthrnm tuberculatum, n. sp. 



A. Jubce affine, sed minus, angustius, pube breviore ac multo minus 

 densa vestitum ; prothorace subalutaceo (minus nitido), paulo 

 crebrius punctato, punctis (oculo fortissimo armato) majoribus 

 (minus argute simplicibus). Long. corp. lin. f-l-g-. 



Habitat in ins. Hierro, inter Euphorbias emortuas a DD. Crotch re- 

 pertum. 



Captured abundantly by the Messrs. Crotch in the island of Hierro, 

 the most western of the Canarian Group. In the distinct tubercles 

 at the apex of its pronotum, and rather densely clothed surface, it 

 approaches the A. Jubce; nevertheless it is smaller and narrower 

 than that insect (some of the specimens descending to a comparatively 

 diminutive size), its pubescence is a little shorter, and its prothorax
