Subgenus Fortunotrox n. subg. (type species: Laparocerus gracilis Wollaston, 1865) of genus Laparocerus Schoenherr, 1834 is described and twelve species endemic of the Western Canaries (El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera) are ascribed to it. Laparocerus indutus Wollaston, 1865 from the island of La Gomera is redescribed. Specimens traditionally assigned to this species belong to L. confusus n. sp. that is described, as well as four more new species; L. juelensis n. sp., L. rotundatus n. sp., L. pilosiventris n. sp., and L. magnificus n. sp. From the island of El Hierro the following taxa are described: L. bimbache n. sp., L. cephalotes n. sp., L. orone hierrensis n. ssp., L. mateui tuberosus n. ssp., L. cavernarius n. sp. and L. hypogeus n. sp. From the latter island five species probably cited erroneously are discussed, Laparocerus ellipticus Wollaston, 1863 is recorded for the first time and keys in Spanish and English for identifying all Laparocerus inhabiting El Hierro are provided.
