Taxonomic note.
Tiensuu (1938)
misidentified the present species as
Phaonia sordidisquama
(presently treated as a Canarian subspecies of
P. trimaculata
, see below) based on long series of specimens from two localities in
Madeira
. A reexamination of specimens from both localities (see above) revealed that they all belong to
P. tuguriorum tuguriorum
. The Madeiran record of
Phaonia canariensis
(presently treated as a Canarian subspecies of
P. tuguriorum
, see below) by
Pont (2008)
also refers to the nominal subspecies of
P. tuguriorum
.
