The cave-dwelling forms of the genus Neobisium L. koch comprise many phyletic lines, some less specialized and others highly adapted to cave life. To trace their origin, biogeography and evolution, it is necessary to compare the evidence about troglobitic species with that of the epigean forms from different European habitats, especially in the Mediterranean or Dinaric regions. In this study, descriptions of Neobisium crucis n. sp. and N. pluzinensis n. sp., both from caves in Montenegro, are presented, with some details on the comparative morphology and morphometric ratios.
