Calathus carinatus?, Brullé, in Webb et Berth. (Col.) 55 (1838). 
Habitat Teneriffam, in iisdem locis ac preecedens, sed sat vulgaris. 
A most remarkable species, at once known by its narrow, 
elongate-quadrate prothorax, and by its extremely depressed, 
opake, and elliptical elytra, which have the basal line of each 
(from either shoulder to the scutellum) very deeply curved, and 
their discal punctures (of which there are usually from five to 
nine on the third, from about two to four on the fifth, and occa- 
sionally one or two on even the seventh interstice) exceedingly 
distinct. I have but little doubt that it is the C. carinatus of 
M.Brullé; for, although I was not able, whilst in Paris, to ob- 
tain a sight of his Calathi, yet I think there is just sufficient in 
the description (if “description” it may indeed be called) to 
render it probable -that this is the insect to which he referred, 
though his total silence on all the salient peculiarities of the four 
Canarian species which he wished to indicate (one of which is 
no Calathus at all, but an Argutor !) renders his diagnoses utterly 
worthless. 
The C. carinatus is rather common throughout the sylvan 
regions of Teneriffe. I have taken it abundantly at the Agua 
Garcia, as also in the woods above Taganana and at Las Mer- 
cedes, in the last of which localities it was also found by the 
Bardo do Castello de Paiva.

Habitat Canariam Grandem, tempore vernali A.p. 1858 specimen 
unicum (sc. masculum) inveni. 
The present Calathus is the only one of which I have not an 
extensive series to compile my diagnosis from, the single specimen 
which I have seen being one which I captured in Grand Canary 
(I believe in the region of El Monte) during the spring of 1858. 
Fortunately, however, it happens to be a male, so that I can 
have no hesitation (from its simple unfimbriated tibiz) as to 
which of my sections it belongs to. It is remarkable for its basally 
wide (though altogether not very broad) prothorax, for its sub- 
opake ovate elytra (which ‘are a good deal expanded behind the
