摘要：
The paper deals with taxonomic revision of the genus Neelus Folsom, 1896. Two new species of the genus are described: N. koseli sp. nov. from caves of the eastern Slovakia and N. klisurensis sp. nov. from the Velika Klisura Cave in Serbia (Kosovo). Both species represent first known troglobiotic forms of the genus with distribution restricted to caves. They exhibit clear troglomorphic features not shared by other species of the genus: elongated unguis, larger body, elongated sensilla of Ant. IV segment, and others. Comparative table and dichotomous identification key for species of the genus are provided, remarks on distribution and ecology of species of the genus are added.
