Based on recent field work, mainly by the first author, we record the following eleven species of Microlepidoptera as new to the Canary Islands: Prays peregrina Agassiz, 2007 (Praydidae); Epicallima mikkolai (Lvovsky, 1995) (Oecophoridae); Stathmopoda auriferella (Walker, 1864) (Stathmopodidae); Scythris albidella (Stainton, 1867), Scythris eucharis Walsingham, 1907, Scythris amplexella Bengtsson, 2002, Scythris mus Walsingham, 1898, and Enolmis acanthella (Godart, 1824) (Scythrididae); Bifascia nigralbella (Chrétien, 1915), Bifascioides leucomelanella (Rebel, 1917), and Pyroderces apicinotella (Chrétien, 1915) (Cosmopterigidae). We also describe three hitherto undescribed species: Tortilia flavescens Falck & Karsholt, sp. n. (Stathmopodidae), Scythris brithae Falck & Karsholt, sp. n., and Scythris grancanariella Falck & Karsholt, sp. n. (Scythrididae). The family Oecophoridae, in its present concept, is new to the Canary Islands. We also deal with two species of Cosmopterigidae, which were formerly recorded from the Canary Islands, but not included in the catalogue by VIVES MORENO (2014): Anatrachyntis rileyi (Walsingham, 1882) and C. gerasimovi Danilevsky, 1950. We moreover discuss the genera Coccidiphila Danilevsky, 1950 and Ascalenia Wocke, 1876 in the Canary Islands and conclude that the occurrence of C. ledereriella (Zeller, 1850), C. danilevskyi Sinev, 1997 and Ascalenia vanella (Frey, 1860) in these islands is unconfirmed, and they should be removed from the list of Canary Island Lepidoptera. Photographs of adults of all species are shown. Photographs of the genitalia are either shown or references are given to literature where they are figured.
