Abstract :
[en] The study of 208 Corsican specimens of Diodontus reveals that four species occur in Corsica. Diodontus insidiosus Spooner, 1938, is newly recorded for this island and two species are new for science: D. inalpellatus n. sp. and D. touroulti n. sp. The two new species are well supported by their distinct morphology and genetic distance. Finally, D. friesei Kohl, 1901, is considered to be absent in Corsica and in France.
