This study updates the present knowledge of the Pipunculidae (Diptera) of the Atlantic islands of the Canaries and Madeira. In total, 14 species are reported with 13 for the Canary Islands and three for Madeira. Chalarus perplexus, Eudorylas clavatus, Tomosvaryella brachybasis, Tomosvaryella freidbergi, Tomosvaryella glabrum, Tomosvaryella kuthyi and Tomosvaryella parakuthyi are reported for the first time from the islands. Tomosvaryella glabrum, formerly considered a synonym of Tomosvaryella subvirescens, is re-instated as a separate species with Tomosvaryella tecta as a junior synonym. Tomosvaryella ornatipes, formerly considered a synonym of Tomosvaryella frontata is re-instated as a separate species. Aspects on endemism, inter-island variation, zoogeographical affinities, and seasonality of the pipunculid fauna of these Atlantic islands are briefly discussed
