C o m m e n t: Leptobium canariense was previously treated as a subspecies of L. nigricolle , despite some occasional overlap in the characters distinguishing it from the nominate subspecies ( ASSING 1999). Material studied in the meantime, however, revealed that this overlap is enormous, frequent, and not confined to exceptional cases. Therefore, the previous hypothesis that L. canariense should be distinct on the subspecific level can no longer hold, at least not based on morphological evidence, and L. canariense is placed in synonymy with L. nigricolle nigricolle, together with its junior synonym L. wollastoni .
