Abstract: Two new species of Bolbomiris Hosseini & Cassis, 2019, B. picpinensis
Gierlasiński & Taszakowski sp. nov. and B. koghi Gierlasiński &
Taszakowski sp. nov., are diagnosed and described. Photographic images of
habitus and male genital structures, as well as scanning electron micrographs of
selected structures of these species, are provided. An updated key to the
species of Bolbomiris is presented. Additionally, the paper also presents new
localities of Bolbomiris cola Hosseini & Cassis, 2019, Bolbomiris samuelsoni
Hosseini & Cassis, 2019, as well as Peritropis bicolor Gorczyca, 1999 and
Kanakamiris krypton Cassis & Monteith, 2006 (Cylapinae), Fingulus
