Abstract:

Two new acalyptrate species, Meoneura obtusangula sp. n. (Carnidae) and Trixoscelis anichtiri sp. n. (Trixoscelididae), are described from Spain. Furthermore, the sphaerocerid Coproica rufifrons Hayashi, 1991 is recorded from the Iberian Peninsula (in Spain) for the first time. All of them were collected with traps baited with a dead piglet.
