Remarks. No complete key to the species of Craspedorrhynchus has ever been published. Perez and Martin-Mateo (1995) published a partial key, including only the species known from Spain at the time, which can be complemented by the illustrations of the same species by Gállego et al. (1987). We use this key here to narrow down the potentially closest relatives of the two new species, but note that many of the other species in the genus are poorly described and illustrated. A revision of Craspedorrhynchus is needed; in anticipation of such a revision, where possible we have also compared the species described here with all other well-illustrated and well-described species [see Mey (2001) for a comprehensive overview] to verify that the species described here are at least not conspecific with any of the species it is currently possible to identify.
