Hi Andrew

There's a new book out entitled Mariposas de Canarias by Marcos Baez
published in 1998 by Editorial Rueda, S.L., Porto Cristo, 13, 28924
Alcorocon (Madrid). Tel. (91) 619 27 79; Fax. (91) 610 28 55. ISBN
84-7207-110-3.

I'm not sure how comprehensive it is but it does give a general overview of
the Lepidoptera of the islands as it includes butterflies, macros and some
micros.

Hope this helps

Martin
