Abstract
The Albanian species of the subtribe Reicheina Jeannel, 1957 are studied. Dalmatoreicheia maderi sp. nov. (type locality: massif of Maja e Krujë, Eastern Albania) and Reicheadella smetanai sp. nov. (type locality: vicinity of Liqueni i Butrintit Lake, Southern Albania) are described, illustrated and compared to the related species, and a key to the Albanian Reicheina is provided. Reicheadella bischoffi (Meschnigg, 1933) is illustrated and re-described, and a lectotype and paralectotype are designated. We provide some remarks on the genital morphology of Reicheadella corcyrea (Reitter, 1884). On the basis of adult morphology and paleobiogeography, Reicheadella Reitter, 1913 and Chaetomargoreicheia Magrini & Bulirsch, 2005 stat. nov. are considered distinct lineages and raised to the generic level.References
