Laparocerus globulipennis Wollaston, 1864

Laparocerus globulipennis Wollaston 1864, p 349 .

Type locality. Cubo de La Galga , La Palma, Canary Islands .

Lectotype: 1♀ (green card-line), La Palma [Galga] May 1858, leg. Wollaston [Type] [ Laparocerus / globulipennis /Woll. type]. NHM, London. Paralectotype: 1♀, same data [Hope Entomological/Collections/Wollaston Coll.] [ Laparocerus / globulipennis Woll. ]. UMO, Oxford.

Remarks. Marseul (1872, p 524) proposed Laparocerus globosipennis as a new name for this species, being this an unjustified replacement name. Roudier (1957a, p 26) treated globulipennis as a subspecies of L. inaequalis Wollaston, 1864 .

Laparocerus gomeraecola Marseul, 1872 *

Laparocerus Gomeraecola , in Marseul 1872, p 531.

Remarks. This is an unjustified replacement name for Laparocerus gracilis Wollaston, 1864 , as already recognized in Winkler (1932, p 1448). For more information, see under gracilis .

Type material. Its type material is the same as for the replaced species name.

Laparocerus gomerensis Lindberg, 1953

Laparocerus (Wollastonicerus) gomerensis Lindberg 1953, p 15 .

Type locality. Chipude (Alajeró), La Gomera, Canary Islands .

Holotype: 1♀ missing right posterior tarsus [Can. La Gomera/Alajeró - Chipude 1400 m / 22.3.50 Lindberg] [ Laparocerus / gomerensis m. /Harald Lindb. det.] [Mus. Zool. H:fors/Spec. typ. No. 2618/ Laparoc. gomerensis / Har. Lindb]. ZMUH (Coll. Lindberg), Helsinki. Paratype: 1♀ [Can. La Gomera/Alajeró - Chipude 1400 m /22.3.50 Lindberg], ZMUH (Coll. Lindberg), Helsinki. A much rubbed specimen, the same as the holotype.

Laparocerus gracilis Wollaston, 1864

Laparocerus gracilis Wollaston 1864, p 356 .

Type locality. Lomo de las Nieves (San Sebastián), La Gomera, Canary Islands.

Lectotype: 1„, La Gomera (red card-line), February 1858, leg. Wollaston [Syntype] [Canary Is. / Lanzarote / Wollaston Coll. / BM 1864–80 ]. NHM, London . Paralectotypes: 4 exx, same data, NHM, London. 3 exx, same data, MNHN, Paris (Coll. Oberthühr- Wollaston) .

Remarks. Somebody added labels indicating ‘‘Lanzarote’’ and ‘‘syntype’’ to the specimens kept in London. It is a clear error as the card-line colour is red, corresponding to La Gomera. Wollaston (1864) mentions as a collecting locality the slopes of the low mountainridge immediately outside (and to the north of) San Sebatian. This locality is known as Lomo de Las Nieves. In the Hope Entomological Collections at Oxford there are three specimens mounted on cards with a black line. This material corresponds to the later captures of the Messrs Crotch and are not syntypes. Marseul (1872, p 531) proposed the unjustified replacement name Laparocerus gomeraecola for this species.
