Sažetak
Croatodirus casalei Giachino & Jalžić, new species from N Velebit, Lubenovac, Slovačka jama pothole, and C. ozimeci Casale, Giachino & Jalžić new species, from Lokve, Lokvarka špilja cave, are described. The morphological features of the new taxa are compared with those of the type species of the genus (C. bozicevici Casale, Giachino & Jalžić, 2000). The genus is confirmed as a homogeneous, well characterized and monophyletic unit, and is attributed to the phyletic lineage of Anthroherpon.
Velebitodromus, new genus, smidai new species, is described from N Velebit, Lubenovac, Mali kuk, Slovačka jama pothole. Owing to both external features and structures of male and female genitalia, the genus is attributed to the phyletic lineage of Anthroherpon, and is recognized as related to the genera Anthroherpon Reitter, 1889, and Paranthrophilon Reitter, 1889.
