Aspidapion acerifoliae Suppantschitsch, 1996

( Fig. 3 )

Details of the occurrence of this recently described species are in SUPPANTSCHITSCH (1996). Although endemic to the Canaries the species was not included in GURREA & SANZ (2000).

Mr. W. Suppantschitsch generously donated a pair of paratypes (male and female) of this species to BMNH, where they are incorporated in the Museum’s General Collection, not in the separate Wollaston collection.
