This study updates our knowledge of the Tephritidae of the Canary Isiands. The 30 recorded spe-
cies are keyed and briefly discussed. iephritis lureipes sp. n. is described and Trupanea tubulata
Munro is recorded for the first time from the Canary Islands. Three records are regarded as er-
roneous: Aciura coryli (Rossi), Dectodesis augur (Frauenfeld) and Paroxyna absinthii
(Fabricius). Tephritis reticulata Becker, 7: duplex Becker and Paroxyna rnulrirnuculosu Dirlbek
& Dirlbek are transferred to Cumpiglossu (combs. n.). The following new synonymies are pro-
posed (junior synonyms in parantheses): Capititesramulosa (Loew) (= Urelliaperfecta Becker),
Campiglossa duplex (Becker) ( = Paroxyna aequalis Hering), Campiglossa reticulata (Becker)
( = Ephritis occuíta Becker). Oedaspis quinquefasciata Becker ( = Oedaspis heringi Hendel),
Ephritis praecox (Loew) (=íéphritispoecilura Loew). Lectotypes are designated for Paroxyna
aequalis Hering, iephritis reticulata Becker, Tetanocera walkeri Wollaston and Pyperapraecox
Loew. Seven fruit fly species were reared for the first time, and 12 new hit fly - piant reiation-
ships are mentioned. Furthermore Paroxyna martii (Becker) and Urelliosomn guimari (Becker)
are recorded for the first time from Southern Spain and iephritispraecox from Austria.

Introduction separara Becker, which is a leaf miner in several
The first comprehensive study of the Diptera of the
Canary Islands listed 28 fruit fly species (Becker
1908a). The number of species was increased to 35
by Hendel(1927), Frey (1936), Hering (1937), Frey
(1958a), Dirlbek & Dirlbek (1969). Leclercq (1973)
andchandler (1979). A check list ofall fruit flyspe-
cies of Macaronesia was given by Dirlbek & Ohrn
(1982).
A careful study of the Canarian fruit flies reveals,
that only 30 species and 19 genera are currently
known to occur on these islands. Five of the earlier
mentioned species are synonymized and three other
species (Aciura coryli (Rossi) Paroxyna absinrhii
(Fabricius) and Dectodesis augur (Frauenfeld)) are
removed frorn the list of Dirlbek & Ohrn (1982) be-
cause they were misidentified.
Despite good faunistic knowledge of the fruit
flies of the Canary Islands there are only scattered
data on host plants and other ecological
parameters. The only two species which have been
reared frorn plants on the Canary Islands are
Oedaspisqutnquefasciata Becker from stem galls of
Schizogyne sericea (Hendel 1927) and Eirleiu
0 Entomolooica rcandmi.r~ca itirp 6)
Umbelliferae (= Apiaceae) (Hering 1927).
The following study presents host plant data for
15 species which were al1 reared on the Canary Is-
lands. There are host plant data for a further 10 spe-
cies frorn outside of the Canary Islands. Four spe-
cies were swept in large nurnbers on pure stands of
certain plants, indicating that they may be hosts.
One species. Ensina decisa Wollaston, has no host
data.
Material and methods
This study is rnostly based on sorne 1300 specimens
collected by the author on two islands, Gornera and
Tenerife, during two excursions (28 April to 5 May
1988and3 to IIMarch 1990). Theflieswerecollect-
ed by sweeping and by rearing frorn infested plant
material. In the latter case the plants were stored in
paper bags which were brought into the laboratory
at room ternperature. A11 flies ernerged within two
months. The endernic plants were identified with
Brarnwell & Bramwell(1974), the other plants with
the Flora Europaea (Moore et al. 1976). Addi-
tional material a me frorn the collection of T. Beck-
