Reasons why Lepisma iberica sensu Stach, 1930 must be treated as a synonym of Neoasterolepisma wasmanni (Moniez, 1894) are discussed, emphasizing that the insects described by Stach as a new species are, in fact, young specimens belonging to the species described by Moniez. At the same time, two new species found in the Southwestern regions of the Iberian Peninsula are described: Neoasterolepisma hesperica n. sp. and N. delator n. sp. These two taxa had been determined until now as Lepisma iberica or Neoasterolepisma iberica; they are compared between themselves and with other similar Neoasterolepisma.
