Hyalesthes portonoves Remane & Hoch, 1986

Hyalesthes portonoves Remane & Hoch, 1986: 134; Hoch and Remane, 1985: 134

Distribution. Endemic to Madeira Island. MADEIRA: reported from a single southern coastal locality (Porto Novo) (Hoch and Remane, 1985; Remane and Hoch, 1986).

Habitat and/or food plants. Xerophyte vegetation with Echium spp. and Euphorbia spp. (Hoch and Remane, 1985; Remane and Hoch, 1986).

Remarks. Lindberg (1941) identified two specimens from Portonovo as Hyalesthes angustulus Horv. 1908 but later (1961) he identified them as Hyalesthes flavipennis . Remane and Hoch (1985) described H. portonoves from the same locality; therefore, it is very likely that Lindberg’s material corresponds to this species.
