Dear Isidro
As far as I can tell this species has not been recorded from the Canary Isl. before in a paper. Also fauna Europea says it is absent. However, There may be some other species within the subfamily Telmatogetoniae involved here, which I didn't check and which I don't know It looks similar to the larvae we have here in The Netherlands and identified as T. japonicus, the most widespread species of the genus.
All the best from Amsterdam
