We studied pseudoscorpions of the genera Neobisium Chamberlin, 1930 and Roncus L. Koch, 1873 from some caves on Mt. Svilaja and near Metković (Dalmatia, Croatia). Two new species – N. svilajae n. sp. and R. narentae n. sp. — are described. The specimens studied are thoroughly analyzed and illustrated. Each of these new taxa belongs to a specific group of endemics, geographically restricted either to Mt. Svilaja or to Southern Herzegovina. Taxonomic interrelationships and geographic distributions are briefly discussed.
