Campiglossa valida ( Wollaston, 1858)

Material examined. Madeira: Bica da Cana (1 male) ; Folhadal (1 female) ; Porto Santo: Cabeço da Ponta (1 female) ; Serra de Fora (1 male) .

Remarks. Campiglossa valida is endemic to the Madeira and Canary archipelagos. Unlike to its sister species C. producta , this species seems to breed only in plants of genus Argyranthemum ( Merz 1992; Smit 2006). The previous records of this species were concentrated in the south of Madeira, but it was now found in different habitats (laurel forest and altitudinal heathland) and at much higher altitudes, extending considerably its known distribution.
