Laparocerus palmensis Lindberg 1953, p 16 View in CoL .

Type locality. Montaña Tenisca, Los Llanos de Aridane , La Palma, Canary Islands .

Holotype: 1„ [Can. Palma,/ Los Llanos / 12-11-1950] [ Fernández ] [Mus. Zool. H:fors/ Spec. typ. No. 2620/ Laparoc. palmensis / Har. Lindb.] ZMUH (Coll. Lindberg), Helsinki . Paratypes: 3 exx [Can. Palma,/Los Llanos/ 12-11-1950] [Fernández]. ZMUH (Coll. Lindberg), Helsinki .

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.
