﻿AbstractBeing nocturnal, hiding in prickly bushes and shrubs during the day,Eupholidopteraspecies in Crete and its neighbouring islands are easily overlooked, and until now our knowledge about their distribution was based on some thirty sightings across 11 species. In this paper results are presented of a study ofEupholidopteraspecimens collected between 1987 and 2020 by hand-catches and pitfall and fermenting traps on the Greek islands of Crete, Gavdos, Gavdopoula, and Andikithira. Diagnostic features of all known species are presented and illustrated with stacked images. An updated key to all species is provided.EupholidopterafrancisaeTilmans & Odé,sp. nov.from Andikithira and southwestern Crete andEupholidopteramarietheresaeWillemse & Kotitsa,sp. nov.from Mt. Dikti are described. FemaleE.cretica,E.gemellata, andE.mariannaeare described, and the female ofE.astylais redescribed. Bioacoustics forE.francisaeTilmans & Odé,sp. nov.,E.giuliae, andE.jacquelinaeare presented for the first time.Eupholidopterasmyrnensisis reported for the first time from Crete. A substantial amount of new distribution data forEupholidopteraspecies on Crete is presented. The current distribution pattern and first analyses of phylogeny based on molecular data ofEupholidopteraspecies on Crete are discussed in relation to paleogeographical events.
