Including these four species, there are now 31 Napaeus species known from La Gomera and 76 species from the whole Canary archipelago. La Gomera is as such by far the most diverse island with respect to Napaeus.

Abstract

A well-known Drymaeus species occurring on several West Indian islands is known in the recent literature under three different names, which causes some confusion. After analysis it is concluded that the correct name should be Drymaeus virgulatus (A. Férussac, 1821).
