The Osoriinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) genera Typhloiulopsis Scheerpeltz, 1931 and Leptotyphlopsis Scheerpeltz, 1931 from the Ionian Islands (Greece) are revised based on morphology. Typhloiulopsis pavesii sp. nov. from Kérkyra is described. The three taxa of Leptotyphlopsis described from Kaligoni, Lefkàda, are considered as belonging to a single species, Leptotyphlopsis kaligoniana Scheerpeltz, 1931 (= Leptotyphlopsis jonica Scheerpeltz, 1931 syn. nov. and Leptotyphlopsis leucadiana Scheerpeltz, 1931 syn. nov.).
