Remarks.
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.
