Abstract
Two new species of Entomoculiini, Allotyphlus (s. str.) pavesii and Entomoculia (s. str.) cassiopaea, from the Ionian Island of Kérkyra, are described. While the first taxon belongs to a homogeneous group of five species already known from the island, the second represents a remarkable finding, as it exhibits intermediate characters between the genera Entomoculia (s. str.) and Allotyphlus (Moreotyphlus). It is herein assigned to the former genus, making it the easternmost known species and the first record of the genus in both the country and the Balkan Peninsula.
