The subterranean species Niphargus hvarensis S. Karaman 1952a, from localities on the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea is studied and variability of morphological characters of specimens from various localities is mentioned. The peculiar population of this species from spring Zavrelje, Hum, Župa Dubrovačka (Croatia) is described and figured. The male from type-locality of similar species Niphargus miljeticus Straškraba 1959 (Mljet Island, Croatia) is redescribed and figured, and position of this species regarding N. hvarensis is discussed, based on morphological, ecological and zoogeographical position and characters.
