To date the family Halophilosciidae from the Canary Islands included four species: Halophiloscia couchii from all the islands of the archipelago, H. canariensis from the banks of a subterranean lake on Lanzarote, Stenophiloscia glarearum from Lanzarote and La Gomera, and Littorophiloscia culebrae from Tenerife. We examined a large number of specimens of Halophilosciidae collected from the coasts of the Chinijo Archipelago, Lanzarote, Lobos, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro, and from some caves on La Palma. Six species of Halophilosciidae are now recorded from the Canary Islands, including two new species of Halophiloscia described herein (H. rodriguezi from the coasts of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, and H. microphthalma from numerous caves on La Palma). The distribution of all the species in the archipelago is discussed. Halophiloscia canariensis appears to be widespread along the coasts of the eastern islands (Chinijo Archipelago, Lanzarote, Lobos, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria), H. rodriguezi along the coasts of the western islands (Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro), H. couchii from Tenerife and Gran Canaria, while H. microphthalma is endemic to caves on La Palma. Stenophiloscia glarearum and Littorophiloscia culebrae are newly recorded from Gran Canaria.
