ON TWO NEW SPECIES OF PSEUDOSCORPIONS FROM THE DINARIC KARST

A careful analysis of samples of pseudoscorpions (Neobisiidae, Pseudoscorpiones) from two epigean habitats, one near Split (Croatia) and the other on Mt. Orjen (Montenegro), has yielded two species of the genus Roncus L. Koch new to science: Roncus diocletiani n. sp. and R. orjensis n. sp. Both new species are described, thoroughly illustrated, and diagnosed. Some biogeographical and evolutionary characteristics of the two taxa are briefly discussed.
