Abstract: Sciaphobus (Neosciaphobus) messutati sp. nov. and Pelletierellus holecovae sp.
nov. (Curculionidae: Entiminae) from Albania are described and illustrated. The
morphological relationships of both new species to all their related taxa are
emphasised. Microhabitats and the stenotopic character of both species, having
the same locus typicus are discussed. Both species were collected in a subalpine
meadow at elevation of 1 900 m by general sweeping and sifting of litter under
perennial vegetation.
