The island of La Gomera can be added to the list of the distribution of A. canariensis in the Canary archipelago: On 08-12-2004, a male (Fig. 1) and a female specimen (Fig. 2) were found near Alajeró in the southern part of the island.

Thus, A. canariensis was found on all islands of the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, while the species has not been reported from the islands of the province of Las Palmas, yet.
