Description

1. Phaonia tuguriorum tuguriorum (Scopoli)

(Figs 1A–D)

Phaonia sordidisquama Stein ”; Tiensuu 1938: 8 (Madeira); Frey 1949: 45 (Madeira); Pont 2008: 334 (Madeira). Misidentifications.

Phaonia canariensis Villeneuve ”; Pont 2008: 334 (Madeira). Misidentification.

Taxonomic note. Tiensuu (1938) misidentified the present species as Phaonia sordidisquama (presently treated as a Canarian subspecies of P. trimaculata, see below) based on long series of specimens from two localities in Madeira. A reexamination of specimens from both localities (see above) revealed that they all belong to P. tuguriorum tuguriorum. The Madeiran record of Phaonia canariensis (presently treated as a Canarian subspecies of P. tuguriorum, see below) by Pont (2008) also refers to the nominal subspecies of P. tuguriorum.

Material examined. MADEIRA: [MZH, OUMNH] Caramujo, 1250m, 5♂ 6‒14.viii.1935 (O. Lundblad); Rabaçal, 2♀ 17.vii–4.viii.1935 (O. Lundblad), 1♂, 1♀ 10.vii.1990 (M. Báez); Faja da Nogueira, c. 750m, laurisilva, 1♀ 20.xi.1980 (H. Enghoff & O. Martin).

Description. See the above description of the Phaonia signata species group and species key.

Distribution. The nominal subspecies is widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and is here also recorded from Madeira.
