ABSTRACT
Cyrnus cintranus is one of five Cyrnus species with distribution ranges restricted to western Europe. In this paper, we redescribe the poorly defined female of C. cintranus. We also draw attention to the existence of a previously unmentioned morphological feature that aids significantly in the identification of the female of C. cintranus, separating it from the females of the other Cyrnus species. New data are provided on the distribution and ecology of this species.

The new species Haptomerus maculosus Borovec Nakládal, sp. n. is described, illustrated and compared with its related species. A key to all Haptomerus species is presented. New data for other species of Haptomerus are presented. The relationships of Haptomerus species are discussed with particular attention to the relationships of species from the Afrotropical region and those from southern Europe.
