BÁEZ Abstract: New records of Heteroptera from the Canary Islands are listed and an updated checklist is presented. A new species of the genus Noualhieria (Lygaeidae) from El Hierro is described, 12 species are recorded from the archipelago for the first time, and 121 new island records are listed. Key words: Canary Islands, checklist, distribution, Heteroptera, Noualhieria heissi nov.sp. Introduction Tenerife by MOULET (1995) is erroneous (KERZHNER 2001).
