Abstract Morphological and taxonomical investigations on species of the genus Candona s.str. Baird, 1845 from the Balkan Peninsula were performed. According to the number of bristles at the second joint of their mandibular palpi they are divided into the candida-group with five bristles and the neglecta-group with only four (Klie 1938; Meisch 1996). A splitting of the neglecta-group into three species complexes, depending on the shape of the middle process (M-process) of the hemipenis is proposed. Different species of Candona are examined and an especially detailed description of Candona bimucronataKlie 1937 is provided in order to prevent future false classifications. A description of Candona paloskii n.sp., Candona dalmatina n.sp. and the so far unknown female of C. natronophilaPetkovski, 1969 is given.
