A review of West Palaearctic species of the genus Eloeophila Rondani, 1856 is presented. Three species are redescribed, viz. E. czernyi (Strobl in Czerny & Strobl, 1909), E. laciniata (Edwards, 1928), and E. pusilla (Kuntze, 1920). A lectotype of the latter is designated. Eloeophila albofascia (Alexander, 1975) is established as a new junior synonym of E. apicata (Loew, 1871). Descriptions are provided of E. bipartita sp. n. (North Italy), E. delmastroi sp. n. (North Italy), E. lucasi sp. n. (South Italy and Sicily), E. maroccana sp. n. (Morocco, Spain), E. martinovskyi sp. n. (South Italy), E. minor sp. n. (Czech Republic, Slovakia), E. pectinistylus sp. n. (Spain), E. punctulata sp. n. [Cyprus, Greece (Crete)], E. sparsipunctum sp. n. (Bulgaria), and E. tigricosta sp. n. (Spain). A key to males of all West Palaearctic species is presented.
Two new species belonging to the genus Willemia are described: W. bedosae sp. n. and W. christianseni sp. n. Redescriptions of Willemia dubia Christiansen & Bellinger, 1980 and W. similis Mills, 1934 are provided. Willemia vashtia Wray, 1950 is a new synonym of W. similis. These four species and four other of the genus constitute the Willemia anophthalma-group. This group is characterized by one feature not shared by the other species of the genus: the presence of setae a l on abdominal sternum IV. A comparative table and an identification key are given for these eight species, as well as some remarks on their habitats.
