Abstract

Eight new species of the Macaronesian genus Caulotrupis Wollaston, 1854 are described and distinguished from the related species: C. ficvorator spec. nov. (Madeira), C. ficvorator isambertoi ssp. nov. (Deserta Grande), C. portosantoensis spec. nov. (Porto Santo), C. lucifugus faialensis ssp. nov. (north of Madeira), C. xerophilus spec. nov. (Porto Santo, Ilheu Chao), C. xerophilus desertagrandensis ssp. nov. (Deserta Grande), C. lourencoensis spec. nov. (Ponta de Sao Lourenco) and C. wollastoni spec. nov. (Deserta Grande). A distribution map with entries and photos (focus stacking) of the habitus, aedeagus and female genitalia of all new taxa are presented. Molecular data on the p-distances of the mitochondrial COI gene support the morphological analyses. It is a preparatory study into a major revision of the genus Caulotrupis in the Snudebiller Journal.
