Description
Summary:Two new species of endemic and relict epigean dwellers of the genus Chthonius C. L. Koch, have been described from Croatia. From its phenetically close congeners (C. litoralis Hadzi and C. dalmatinus Hadzi), Chthonius (Chthonius) torakensis n. sp. is distinguished in many important respects. In addition, Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) cikolae n. sp. (also from Croatia) differs from its closest forms (C. (E.) lychidis Curcic and C. (E.) tetrachelatus (Preyssler) by many morphological characters and form of different body parts. Both species are illustrated, diagnosed and thoroughly described. nema PR Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 143053
