Abstract
A new species of the genus Sphingonotus Fieber, 1852 is described, Sphingonotus (Sphingonotus) axeli sp. nov. from the Salvage Islands. The synonymy of Sphingonotus (Neosphingonotus) asper (Brullé, 1840) with Sphingonotus (Neosphingonotus) pachecoi (Bolívar, 1908) is established and an updated list of currently known taxa from the other Macaronesian Islands is provided.
