As a result of field survey in the western Anatolia, Turkey (Aydın, Balıkesir, Denizli, İzmir, Kütahya, Manisa, Muğla) between 2014 and 2016, two new species of the subgenus Tropogastrosipalia Scheerpeltz, 1951 belonging to the genus Geostiba Thomson, 1858 are described and illustrated: Geostiba dindymosensis sp. n. from Kütahya and Geostiba yagmuri sp. n. from Balıkesir and Manisa. These two new species are compared with morphologically similar and geographically close species. Also, a map illustrating the distributions of these species is provided. Additional records of Geostiba aydinica Assing, 2006, Geostiba biformis Assing, 2006 and Geostiba nifica Assing, 2006 are presented. These three species are recorded for the first time since their descriptions.

Batı Anadolu (Türkiye)'da (Aydın, Balıkesir, Denizli, İzmir, Kütahya, Manisa, Muğla) 2014-2016 yılları arasında yapılan arazi çalışmaları sonucunda, Geostiba Thomson,1958 cinsinden Tropogastrosipalia Scheerpeltz,1951 alt cinsinin iki yeni türü, Kütahya’dan Geostiba dindymosensis sp. n. ile Balıkesir ve Manisa’dan Geostiba yagmuri sp. n. bilim dünyasına tanıtılmıştır. Bu yeni türler, morfolojik olarak benzer ve coğrafi olarak yakın yayılışa sahip türlerle karşılaştırılmıştır. Ayrıca, bu türlerin yayılışlarını gösteren bir harita da verilmiştir. Geostiba aydinica Assing, 2006, Geostiba biformis Assing, 2006 ve Geostiba nifica Assing, 2006 türleri için ek kayıtlar verilmiştir. Bu üç tür, tanımlanmalarından bu yana ilk kez kaydedilmiştir.
