Recibido: 29 de mayo de 2025 Publicado on-line: 19 de junio de 2025 Aceptado: 7 de junio de 2025 1 The first record of Adomerus maculipes (Mulsant & Rey, 1852) (Heteroptera: Cydnidae) for the Canary Islands (Spain) was reported, as Canthophorus maculipes (Mulsant & Rey, 1852), by ROCA-CUSACHS et al. (2020) from the island of La Palma, based on one specimen found in 1993 at Marcos y Cordero and has been the only record of the species reported from the archipelago, so far. Canthophorus maculipes was transferred to the genus Adomerus Mulsant & Rey, 1866 because of some characters shared with this genus (GAPON, 2018; AUKEMA et al., 2021). Herein, the first record of A. maculipes on the island of Tenerife is reported: On 08-04-2025, an adult specimen (Fig. 1) was found in the Barranco del Pino, located in the northern part of the island (coordinates: 28.398406, -16.493319). A photograph of the specimen was uploaded to the online database iNaturalist (see here).
