Baezia vulcania Alonso Zarazaga & Garcia, 2002

New record.

La Palma. El Paso, Cueva de la Torreta Tacande (28°38'21.87"N, 17°52'47.92"W, 677 m a.s.l.), 14 May 2019, eclosion from roots, R. García leg. (RGB).

This small, apparently edaphobiont species is only known from lava tubes of the southern half of La Palma. The cave where it has been recently found enlarges its distribution towards northwest, close to the limit of the geologically older northern half of the island.
