IntroductionHitherto only very few records of Platygastridaefrom the Canary Islands and Madeira have beenpublished. Of the seven species recorded fromMadeira by Graham (1984) only one was deter-mined to species. Buhl (2001) described one newspecies of Platygaster from Tenerife, and Buhl(2003) another new species of Platygaster and oneof Synopeas, also from the Canaries.In this paper, records of 22 species are given,mostly from the recent collections of M. Koponenand M. Báez. It appears that many species knownfrom NW Europe are also present on the CanaryIslands and Madeira, but that on these islands theyappear as adults most of the year (i.e. they havemore generations a year than in NW Europe).Abbreviations: G = La Gomera, M = Madeira,T = Tenerife, P = La Palma; MK = M.
