Total of 174 specimenswere collected from different plants, including  N. oleander,  Hibiscussp.,  C. equisetifolia,  Bougainvilleasp. and  O. europaea. The species was recorded at 8 study sites: Antigua( 25.III.2017),  Caleta de Fuste(  13.II.2017, 30.III.2017),  Costa Calma(08–12.II.2017,  22.III.2017, 09.VIII.2017, 12.VIII.2017),  Lajares(  10.02.2017),  La Lajita(  12.II.2017, 23.III.2017),  La Pared(  30.IX.2016, 03.VIII.2017, 30.IX.2017),  Pajara(  12.VIII.2017) and Tarajalejo(  24.III.2017).  Distribution. The species is widely distributed in Europe, North Africa and Asia ( Kovář 2007). New to Fuerteventura. In the Canary archipelago previously reported from Tenerife, La Gomera and La Palma ( Eizaguirre 2007).   FIGURE 7.  Scymnus nubilus: A) abdomen, male; B) habitus, dorsal; C) penis; D) tegmen, lateral; E) tegmen, inner; F) tip of penis; G) spermatheca;  Scymnus subvillosus durantae: H) spermatheca; I) abdomen, male; J) habitus, dorsal; K) penis; L) tegmen, lateral; M) tegmen, inner; N) tip of penis.  Remarks.  Scymnus durantaewas described from Madeira by Wollaston (1854)but later it was synonymized by Fürsch (1987)with the Mediterranean species  S. subvillosus(Goeze). Recently, Eizaguirre (2007)revised the status of the Canarian  S. subvillosusand decided to treat it as the subspecies  S. subvillosus durantae. Indeed, it seems that the Canarian as well as other Macaronesian and West African populations are different from those found in Europe and Asia. Genitalia of specimens collected on Fuerteventura have the same shape as  S. subvillosus durantaeshown by Eizaguirre (2007), and also as  S. magnocapsularisfrom Senegal( Fürsch 1966b) and  S. durantaefrom Cabo Verde( Fürsch 1986). However, they clearly differ from those in  S. subvillosusfrom France( Gourreau 1974), the Balkan Peninsula (pers. observation), Afghanistan( Bielawski 1963b) and China( Chen et al.2015). Further comparative examination is required to elucidate the taxonomic relationship between the two groups. As for now, we propose to retain Eizaguirre’s (2007)subspecific status of the Canarian population. 2293867504 [313,783,1832,1859] 13. II. 2017, 30. III. 2017 Caleta de Fuste 10 111 1 2293867493 22.
