I suppose the legend is
T Tenerife
G Gran Canaria
P La Palma
L Lanzarote
F Fuerteventura
G La Gomera

And yes, new to Tenerife. Not really a surprise. Indeed Cephalodromia is very widespread than one could imagine.

Just to add:
The Cephalodromia was not known for mailand Spain until Javier got some nice photos of this genus. (maybe others could have photos of these, very probably). At least, before 2002 Cephalodromia is not officialy cited for mainland Spain.
