Field notes and information

General comment: This subspecies flies on the island of La Palma. It is very similar to the subspecies chieranthi flying on Tenerife. However in my experience it is much easier to encounter on La Palmae.

Please refer to the previous species page for details it shares with the Tenerife subspecies.
