Prof. Rebel records an " unbestimbare.s Fragment " of a species 

 of Leiopiilus from Guimar, 16. V. 1889 {Krauss); this was probably 

 imdae Z., which is common and widely distributed in Tenerife. 

 It seems to occur whei'ever Itntla viscosa is abundant, as at 

 Guimar, Santa Cruz, Puerto Orotava, etc. I bred specimens from 

 larvae boring the leading shoots ; they were easily distinguished 

 by their dull glaucous green colour, and by a conspicuous series 

 of blackish dorsal spots.
