Table 3. Site descriptions with sightings of Eyprepocprifas insularis Donskoff, 1982 on São Nicolau, Cape Verde in January 2023. Numbers correspond with those in Fig. 9.

1.	Road from Tarrafal – Cachaço, near the pass 800 m. a. s. l. Steep, rocky northeastern slope with scrub vegetation containing Euphorbia tuckeyana and Furcraea foetida. Mostly dry, with some wetter gullies (Fig. 8 A).
2.	Trail eastwards from Capela de Nossa Senhora do Monte Cintinha 650–750 m. a. s. l.: dry, warm, southeastern slope with open, scrubby, and grassy vegetation alternated with more densely vegetated patches with scrubs and Arundo donax (Figs 8 B, 10 A).
3.	Part of the trail eastwards from Capela de Nossa Senhora do Monte Cintinha, where it bends to the northeastern slope 660 m. a. s. l. The cooler and humid conditions make it more densely vegetated with higher scrubs of Euphorbia tuckeyana.
4.	Assomada Pass, between 650 m. a. s. l. Steep, northeastern slope with Euphorbia tuckeyana scrubs (Fig. 8 C).
5.	The northeastern slope of a deep valley with densely woody vegetation at 1050 m. a. s. l. with Pinus, Eucalyptus, and undergrowth of Euphorbia tuckeyana. Nymphs were found here on Asteriscus smithii Figs 8 D, 10 B.
6.	Steep northeastern slope at 1100 m. a. s. l. with Pinus, Eucalyptus, and Cupressus with undergrowth of Euphorbia tuckeyana.
