Abstract - Notes on the Sardinian species of the genus Eudesis Reitter, 1882, with descriptions of two new taxa (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae) - Two new species of Eudesis are described from Sardinia (Eudesis oplita n. sp., Eudesis supramontana n. sp.), with new observations and records for Eudesis aglena Reitter, 1882 and Eudesis minima Binaghi, 1948. The two new species differ from all the other known taxa of the genus in the shape of the head, which has also dorsal cavities.
