Recent collecting on the island of La Palma has yielded two new records, Lithobius (Monotarsobius) crassipesoides and Lithobius (Lithobius) melanops, the former also being new to the Canary Islands and is recorded for the first time after its recent description. We additionally provide species records for the lithobiomorph species of the island, with new locality data and a distribution map based on recent and literature records. We update the checklist of the lithobiomorph species of the Canaries and document all the newly collected species.
