Trupanea insularum (Becker, 1908)

Material examined. Madeira: Pico do Areeiro (1 female) ; Ponta de São Lourenço (2 females) ; Ribeira da Janela (2 females) ; Porto Santo: Pico Branco (1 female) ; Desertas: Bugio (1 female) .

Remarks. This is a rare endemic species of Madeira and the Canary Islands. In spite of the few records, this species has been found in different habitats such as the laurel forest (Merz 1992) or along the coast on sea cliffs (Smit 2006). Larvae of T. insularum have been reared on Andryala spp (Merz 1992; Smit 2006). Our record from Bugio is the first for Desertas islands.
