ADDITIONS TO THE HETEROPTERA-FAUNA OF THE CANARY ISLANDS 1 By E. HEISS & J. RIBES ** ABSTRACT: The present paper is a first addition to tbe preliminary cataloguo Jf the Heteropteru-fauna of the Canary Islands (HEISS & BAEZ.1990) and includes corrections, new taxonomic assignmcnts and further citations from literature and several new records. 29 species are reported as new to the Canarian fauna, but one species is a synonym (Geocoris pvbescens Jak. = G.timidus Put.) and 8 spccies are regarded as doubtíidspccies inquirenda which should be deleted from the list. This brings the total number of species known to date from Canary Islands to 333. Key words: Heteropteru, catalogue, new additions, Canary Islands RESUMEN: La presente aportación es una primera addenda al catálogo preliminar de los Heterópferos des las islas Canarias (HEISS & BAEZ, 1990). Incluye enmiendas, nuevos cambios taxonómicos, datos complementarios y numerosas citas inéditas. Todo ello se desglosa en cuatro secciones distintas dentro del segundo capítulo: referencias adicionales y cambios en la literatura, citas canarias nuevas, citas isleñas nuevas y specics inquirenda. De este acervo hay que entresacar 29 especies para incorporar a la fauna canaria, con relación a lar 3 13 inventariadas, pero una es una sinonimia (Geocoris pvbescem lak. = G.rimidus Put.) y 8 especies más se consideran dudosas, por lo que se eliminan de la lista, quedando pues un total de 333 especies que se estiman válidas. Toda la bibliografía es nueva. 1.1 N TRO D UC TI ON The publication of “A preliminary catalogue of the Heíeropíera of the Canary Islands” by HEISS & BAEZ (1990) as a compilation of the then available data from literature was an attempt to provide a kind of practica1 “check-list” without pretension of completeness. Since its preparation (1987) and during publication time additional informa- tion concerning omissions. corrections, new taxonomic assignments and new records were gathered by both present authors and are summarized in this paper. ~~ Joacf Schraffl-Strasse 2A, A-6020 Innsbruck.
