Cholovocera Maderae
Thomas Vernon Wollaston published this drawing in his book ‘Insecta Maderensia’ in 1854. In the book he thanks Westwood for providing the illustrations, ‘Particularly, however, would I draw attention to the valuable help which I have received from J. O. Westwood, Esq., whose pencil has been so elaborately employed in the figures which I am thus enabled to attach, and by whom many of the minutest of the dissections were accomplished, — with a degree of delicacy, moreover, to which I did not myself at the commencement of this Work (though I have since succeeded in anatomizing the larger portion of them, likewise) lay claim.’
144. Cholovocera Maderae. (Tab. X. fig. l.). Wollaston wrote the following about this species:
‘A single example only of this most interesting little insect has hitherto come under my observation,—which was captured many years ago (probably near Funchal) by the late Dr. Heinecken, from whose collection it was presented to me by the Rev. H. T. Lowe.’
