Two new cavernicolous species of the Iberian Peninsula, belonging to the sub-family Trichoniscinae Verhoeff, 1908, have been discovered through the study of the terrestrial isopods present in the “Colección de Fauna Cavernícola de la Universidad del País Vasco”. Trichoniscoides cantabricus n. sp. is described from Miera-Asón river system cavities, being present in another 3 karstic environments in Cantabria, and another cavity in the north of Burgos. Troglonethes fonsocalvoi n. sp. is described in the Montes de Triano cavities (Bizkaia) and it is also present at Sierra Salvada and the Jorrios-Alén and Gorbea massifs.
