Eupanthalis kinbergi McIntosh, 1876 se cita por primera vez
en Canarias basándonos en el material procedente de dragados realizados
a 42-150 metros en aguas de Lanzarote y Fuerteventura. La especie se
caracteriza por presentar podios subbirrámeos a lo largo de todo el cuerpo,
carecer de antena media y por los tipos de morfología de las neurosedas. Con
el presente registro, son cuatro las especies de la familia conocidas para
Canarias junto con: Polyodontes maxillosus (Ranzani, 1817), Eupolyodontes
gulo (Grube, 1855) y Euarche tubifex Ehlers, 1887. Se aporta una clave de
las especies de esta familia presentes en Canarias.
The species Oxystomina elongata (Bütschli, 1874) is recorded
for the first time from the Canary Islands. Description and meristic data are
reported. Moreover, geographical differences among different specimens
are discussed.
