Laparocerus sculptus View in CoL (Brulle´, 1839)

Otiorynchus sculptus Brullé 1839, p 71 .

Type locality. La Palma, Canary Islands .

Holotype: 1♀, 3-1841 [ sculptus ] [3.41] [Type] [Museum Paris / Canaries / Webb et Berthelot / 3-41]. MNHN (Coll. Générale), Paris. Specimen glued on card at present, but with two holes of pins on the elytra.

Remarks. Brullé (1839) did not mention the island of origin of the holotype, but Wollaston (1864, p 341) collected the species in Cubo de La Galga, and Cumbre above Buenavista, in the island of La Palma. L. sculptus is the type species of the subgenus Machadotrox Alonso- Zarazaga and Lyal, 1999 by original designation. This subgenus was established to fill the gap left by Wollastonia Uyttenboogaart, 1936 (non Heer, 1852, nec Horn, 1873) and its replacement name Wollastonicerus Uyttenboogaart, 1937, both unavailable because of the absence of a type designation.
