Two new species are described from the Canary Islands, Spain, Caloptilia coriarella Falck sp. nov. from La Palma and Madeira, Portugal and Metriochroa carreteriaella Falck sp. nov. from Gran Canaria. Aspilapteryx anagensis Klimesch, 1979, reinst. stat. is removed from synonymy of Aspilapteryx multipunctella (Chrétien, 1917) and reinstated as a distinct species. Aspilapteryx multipunctella (Chrétien, 1917) and Dextellia dorsilineella (Amsel, 1935) are recorded as new to the Canary Islands. Caloptilia perseae (Busck, 1920) is removed from the list of Canary Islands Lepidoptera due to misidentification, Dialectica imperialella (Zeller, 1847) and Leucospilapteryx omissella (Stainton, 1848) are removed from the same list because of the unconfirmed and probably erroneous records. Photographs of the adults of the new species are provided. Photographs of the genitalia of the discussed species are provided, or references are given to literature where they are figured. All the new species are barcoded
