Peucetia viridis (Blackwall, 1858) is reported for the first time from the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria). This discovery represents the first record of the genus in the archipelago as well. A female together with an egg sac was collected in a natural reserve located in the west of the island within a community of Canary palm trees. Drawings of the habitus and epigyne and a photograph of the living female are presented. It is discussed whether this record represents an introduction or a natural recent arrival.
