Contributions to the Knowledge of the Fauna of the Canary-islands. XIII. Description of a new species of the genus Corticaria (Col. Lathridiidae) by Dr. D. L. Uyttenboogaart. Renkum. From the British Museum of Natural History I have received for inspection some interesting Coleoptera collected by Mr. E. AppenhaGEN in the island of Tenerife. Amongst them is a new species of Corticaria described below : Corticaria appenhageni nov. sp. Procerae staturae, rufofusca, elytris pedibus qua tuorque primis articulis antennarum fla-vis, labro superiore, clypeo, clavis, prothoracis lateribus fas-ciaque transversa in medio elytrorum (oblique retro ad sutu-ram directa) nigro-fuscis (Aliquando femores tibiaeque fuscati sunt.), antennarum articulis 5 ad 8 fuscatis. Caput angustum oculis globosis (sed manifeste minoribus quam apud C. serratam Payk.), leviter remote punctatum interstitiis alutaceis. Pro thorax crassiore quam caput sed subtiliore quam elytra punctatus, punctulatione modice remota interstitiis alutaceis, aliquid elongatus latitudine maxima ante medium, ad basin fortiter rotundato-coarctatus lateribus leviter crenu-latis sine angulis in basin manifeste impresso-marginatam transeuntibus. Elytra basi manifeste angusta, elongato-ovata sine hume-rum vestigio, substriato-punctata intervallis paululo-convexis
