Lindberg based his description on four specimens only, deposited in the Zoological Museum in Helsinki. According to the Canarian collector’s travel report ( Fernández 1951 ), he collected a series of 40 exx in the Montaña Tenisca, in Los Llanos. I have found many of these specimens in several institutions: 7 exx TFMC, Santa Cruz de Tenerife; 2 exx MNCN (Coll. González) Madrid , and 8 exx MNHN (Coll. Roudier), Paris. All specimens of the series, including the formal types , are equally immature (totally yellowish). One further yellowish specimen, but labelled ‘‘Tenerife, Bco. Tahodio, 20/1/ 1951 )’’ is in the Museum of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and three more in Paris (Coll. Roudier); probably a labelling error.
