Kalcapion semivittatum semivittatum (Gyllenhal, 1833)
The nominate subspecies was recognised as distinct from his Apion sagittiferum by WOL- LASTON (1864), who recorded examples from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura under the name Apion germari Walton, 1844 , by which K. semivittatum was then known by British authors. He expressed doubt as to its distinctness from Apion sagittiferum . Whereas K. s. fortunatum occurs in all the western islands, the nominate subspecies, which is so common in Europe, is the one found in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.
The 5 males and 2 females in Wollaston’s BMNH collection come from these two islands and stand under the name Apion germari Walton. The same is true for 5 males and 4 females in the OUMNH series.
