Abstract Leptus (Leptus) grancanaricus n. sp. and L. (L.) machadoi n. sp. are described from Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura (Canary Islands). They were collected from new hosts for the genus Leptus: Herpisticus guanarteme Machado and Laparocerus maxorata Machado (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). New metrical data for Leptus (Leptus) andae, L. (L.) akkus, L. (L.) hammameticus, L. (L.) horiacus and L. (L.) tammuzi based on examination on the type-material are provided.

Introduction To date, 19 terrestrial Parasitengona mites (excluding Leeuwenhoekiidae, Trombiculidae and Walchiidae) have been listed for the Canary Islands (Haitlinger, 2019). Of these, four species of Leptus Latreille, 1796 were found: Leptus (Leptus) canaricus Haitlinger, 2009, L. (L.) edwini Haitlinger, 2009 and L. (L.) tenerificus Haitlinger, 2009 on Tenerife and L. (L.) maxorata Haitlinger 2009 on Fuerteventura (Haitlinger, 2009). In this paper, we describe two new species of Leptus: L. (Leptus) grancanaricus n. sp. from Gran Canaria and L. (L.) machadoi n. sp. from Fuerteventura. This is the first record of erythraeid mites from Gran Canaria and the second record from Fuerteventura. All Leptus species were collected from curculionid beetles: L. (L.) maxorata from Herpisticus calvus Wollaston (Fuerteventura, endemic), L. (L.) canaricus from Laparocerus crassifrons Wollaston, L. (L.) edwini from L. tessellatus Boulle´ and L. (L.) tenerificus from L. fernandezi Roudier. They are all Tenerife endemics. Herpisticus guanarteme Machado, 2020 (Gran Canaria endemic, parasitised by L. (L.) grancanaricus n. sp.) and L. maxorata Machado (Fuerteventura endemic, parasitised by L. (L.) machadoi n. sp.) are new hosts for the complex of Leptus spp. Supplementary data to the descriptions of L. (L) akkus Haitlinger, 1990, L. (L.) andae Haitlinger, 2003, L. (L.) hammameticus Haitlinger, 1998, L. (L.) horiacus Haitlinger, 1994 and L. (L.) tammuzicus
