Two species of the genus Deuteraphorura Absolon, 1901 from the Western Carpathian caves (Central Europe) are redescribed, namely D. kratochvili (Nosek, 1963) and D. schoenviszkyi (Loksa, 1967). Both species are characterized by the absence of pseudocelli on thoracic tergum I, presence of male ventral organ on abdominal terga II-III and 3 pseudocelli on hind margin of head. D. kratochvili is redescribed based on specimens from the type locality (Demänovská Cave System) and its intraspecific variability in morphological traits is discussed. Redescription of D. schoenviszkyi (Loksa, 1967) is based on specimens from the Slovak and Aggtelek Karst, the karst area where the type locality is situated. Both species are restricted to subterranean environment, thus classified as obligate cave forms (troglobionts). An identification key to Deuteraphorura species, characterized by absence of pseudocelli on thoracic segment I, is provided.
对采自西喀尔巴阡山脉洞穴（中欧）的1901年Absolon描述的Deuteraphorura属的两个物种进行了重新描述，即D. kratochvili（诺塞克，1963年）和D. schoenviszkyi（洛卡萨，1967年）。这两个物种的特征是：胸背板I上没有假眼，腹部背板II - III上有雄性腹侧器官，头部后缘有3个假眼。基于模式产地（德马诺夫斯卡洞穴系统）的标本对D. kratochvili进行了重新描述，并讨论了其形态特征的种内变异性。对D. schoenviszkyi（洛卡萨，1967年）的重新描述基于来自斯洛伐克和阿格泰莱克喀斯特地区（模式产地所在的喀斯特地区）的标本。这两个物种都局限于地下环境，因此被归类为专性洞穴形态（洞穴生物）。提供了一个以胸节I上没有假眼为特征的Deuteraphorura物种的鉴定检索表。
