Type locality. Horta–Caldeira, Island of Faial , Azores .

Lectotype: 1„ [Açores]. Road from Horta to Caldeira, May to September 1857, leg. Drouet (ex litt.). The box label5[ Laparocerus Azoricus A.Drouet / Otiorrhynchus Hartungi Heer , Iles Açores]. MHN, Troyes. Paralectotypes: 6 exx [Açores]+one of them [ Laparocerus n.sp.]. MHN, Troyes. 2 exx [Azores], MNHN, Paris.

Remarks. According to Drouet (1859) the original series was almost 100 specimens. I have found many very old specimens of L. azoricus in several institutional collections, but unfortunately they do not bear any supporting evidence of being syntypes. Hartung and Morelet also collected the species in abundance during the same trip. L. azoricus is the type species of the subgenus Droetius Méquignon, 1942, by original designation. The abovementioned Otiorhynchus hartungi Heer is a nomen nudum.
