Abstract

In addition to the eleven previously known species of the Mediterranean genus Metonomastus, two more species are described: M.petrovisp. n., from the Rhodopi Mts. and Bunardzhik Hill in Bulgaria, and M.radjaisp. n., from the island of Mljet in Croatia. The relationships between the congeners and their distributions are briefly discussed. All 13 species of the genus are keyed.
