may at any rate be fairly regarded as the representatives of each 

 other in their respective islands. 



The L. subopacus was detected by the Messrs. Crotch, during their 

 late Canarian campaign, at a very high altitude in. Gomera, by 

 beating plants of Seclum on Monte Fuerte.

Habitat TeneriiFam, a DD. Crotch semel repertus. 



A single specimen of this Laparocerus was taken by the Messrs. 

 Crotch in Teneriffe ; and it is remarkable for its rather narrow 

 oblong outline and shining surface ; for its smallish, rounded, and 

 prominent eyes ; for its somewhat deeply punctured prothorax ; for 

 its elytra being coarsely punctate- striated, slightly acute behind, 

 where they are sparingly beset with shortish, rather robust, suberect 

 hairs ; and for the second joint of its funiculus being (as in the case 

 of the L. obscurus) very much longer than the first.

Habitat in Gomera, rarissimus. Exemplaria tria ceperunt DD. 

 Crotch. 



Of this little Laparocerus three examples were taken in Gomera 

 by the Messrs. Crotch. In their general character they are evidently 

 much allied to the L. puncticollis, from Hierro ; nevertheless they 

 differ from that species in being larger and more piceous (or less 

 black) ; in the suberect hairs with which they are studded being a 

 little longer, denser, darker (or less cinereous), and more robust ; in 

 their eyes being somewhat less rounded, and a good deal less pro- 

 minent ; in their head and prothorax being less deeply, and rather
