around the Puerto Orotava, in Teneriffe. In Lanzarote and Fuerte- 

 ventura it was captured likewise by M. Hartung ; and that it is the 

 Dr. Heer, who prepared the list. It is, however, unaccompanied by 

 insect referred to in his volume under the title of Dasytes filiformis I 

 can state for certain, having received a specimen, thus identified, from 

 any description ; and even if it had been characterized, the name 

 could not have been retained, it having been employed by Creutzer 

 for the type of the genus — the D. linearis of Fabricius. I have 

 therefore much pleasure in dedicating it to M. Hartung.

26. Haphcnemus sculpturatus, n. sp. 



H. oblongus, convexus ; capite protkoraceque fusco-seneis, nitidis, sat 

 dense punctulatis, pube demissa sericea vestitis, hoc convexo, margine 

 laterali pallidiore crenulato ; elytris ameo-fuscis, dense et valde profunde 

 punctato-rugosis, pube brevi demissa parce irroratis ; antennis nigro- 

 fuscis, basin versus vix dilutioribus ; pedibus testaceis, tibiis interdum 

 paulo infuscatis.

This large Haplocnemus is remarkable for its brassy-brown surface 

 and very deeply sculptured elytra. Its head and prothorax are 

 clothed with a fine silken decumbent pile ; but its elytra are com- 

 paratively glabrous, the hairs (likewise decumbent ones) with which 

 they are studded being short and few. Its prothorax is convex, 

 with the extreme lateral edges rather pale and minutely crenulated ; 

 its legs are testaceous, with the tibiae sometimes a little darkened ; 

 and the last joint of its maxillary palpi is distinctly securiform. It 

 is apparently extremely rare, though widely distributed over Tene- 

 riffe, occurring at intermediate and lofty elevations. I have taken 

 it in the wood of La Esperanza, at the Agua Garcia, the Agua 

 Mansa, and beneath the dead sticks, as well as on the blossoms, of 

 the Retamas on the Cumbre adjoining the Canadas — more than 

 8000 feet above the sea. And I also observed the mutilated re- 

 mains of it (for they were clearly referable to this species) in Palma. 



27. Haplocnemus vestitus, n. sp. 



H. praecedenti similis, sed supra ubique pilis erectis elongatis mollibus 

 dense vestitus ; elytris vix minus profunde sculpturatis ; antennis in
