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 Hadži and C. dalmatinus Hadži), 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.
