Abstract: The Osoriinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) genera Typhloiulopsis Scheerpeltz,
1931 and Leptotyphlopsis Scheerpeltz, 1931 from the Ionian Islands (Greece)
are revised based on morphology. Typhloiulopsis pavesii sp. nov. from Kérkyra
is described. The three taxa of Leptotyphlopsis described from Kaligoni,
Lefkàda, are considered as belonging to a single species, Leptotyphlopsis
kaligoniana Scheerpeltz, 1931 (= Leptotyphlopsis jonica Scheerpeltz, 1931 syn.
nov. and Leptotyphlopsis leucadiana Scheerpeltz, 1931 syn. nov.).
