Annotation: This monotypic genus, which is only known from El Hierro ( type locality: Las Montañetas), the smallest and westernmost island of the Canaries , is only mentioned for the sake of completeness [it is neither considered in the tabular synopsis ( Figs 2A–22D ) nor in the key]. From today’s perspective, it can be deduced from its habitus and from the describing author’s unsuccessful search for further specimens at the type locality (the description was based on one individual) that the species does not belong to the Canarian fauna. Presumably it was recently introduced with potting soil (from South or Central America ?) or was mislabelled or transported with the collecting equipment .
