Description
Eurygnathus latreillei wollastoni Cockerell
(Fig. 2b)
Material examined: DG: Rocha do Barbusano, 19.II.1991, 1 female, 19.XI,1991, 1 female, DS, I. Silva leg., ISC; Barbusano, 22.X.1991, 1 female, DS, I. Silva leg., ASC.
Remarks: This genus is endemic to Madeira Archipelago and E. latreillei is a polytypic species with two known subspecies (Lorenz 2021): the nominal subspecies is found in Porto Santo Island and the neighboring Cal islet (Fig. 2b), while E. latreillei wollastoni is an endemic subspecies of the Desertas Islands (Table 2). It is an extremely rare beetle, deserving a special protection status and targeted population monitoring.
