Treatment

? Eupteryx capreola Lindberg, 1954

Eupteryx capreola Lindberg, 1954: 240 ; Quartau and Fançony, 1988: 98; Aveiro and Aguin-Pombo, 2003a,

2003b

Distribution. Endemic to Canary Islands and Madeira archipelago. MADEIRA: reported from many localities of southern and northern slopes ( Lindberg, 1961; Quartau and Fançony, 1988). PORTO SANTO: one locality ( Quartau and Fançony, 1988).

Food plants. Pteridium aquilinum and herbaceous plants ( Quartau and Fançony, 1988). Remarks. Quartau and Fançony (1988) suggested that Eupteryx capreola Lindberg, 1954 is probably an extreme form of Eupteryx filicum (Newman, 1853) . More recent morphological studies and population dynamics analysis of populations on P. aquilinum also failed to separate this species from E. filicum ( Aveiro and Aguin-Pombo, 2003a, 2003b). The status of this species needs to be confirmed.
