Abstract

A revision of the species Elona quimperiana (Férussac, 1821) and Norelona pyrenaica (Draparnaud, 1805) has been done. These are the only living representatives of the family Xanthonychidae in the Palaearctic region. An exhaustive bibliographical revision of both taxa is presented, together with descriptive data and figures of the genitalia of the species, redescriptions of both monotypic genera, and distribution maps in the Iberian Peninsula. E. quimperiana ranges throughout northern Iberia, and is also found in a small area in Brittany, where it has probably been introduced. N. pyrenaica is endemic of the eastern Pyrenees.
