Abstract
The gammarid Leptocheirus pectinatus (Norman, 1869) and Stenothoe dollfusi Chevreux, 1887 are recorded for the first time from Canary Islands. These species are for- merly cited in adjacent regions such as Azores, in the case of S. dollfusi and Dakar coasts, for L. pectinatus. The samples were taken by hand from intertidal rocky shores and by means of a dredge from subtidal soft bottoms in Lanzarote. Autoecological characteristics and associated fauna data are presented.
