Abstract - Descriptions of two new hypogean Trechini and finding of Boldoriella tedeschii Sciaky, 1977 in the Varese Pre-Alps (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae) - The Author reports the unexpected results of personal researches on the hypogean coleopterological fauna (more precisely the Carabidae Trechinae) of the Varese Pre-Alps, a small alpine area traditionally wrongly considered nearly lacking in this faunistic component, if we except Duvalius ghidinii (Gestro, 1909). The interesting data are as follows: 1) new findings and a synthesis of the actual knowledges on Duvalius ghidinii; 2) a taxonomical revaluation and the recognition of the subspecies rank to the only population of Duvalius ghidinii found outside Mount Campo dei Fiori (D. ghidinii martinensis n. subsp.); 3) the discovery of the genus Boldoriella Jeannel, 1928 in the eastern Varese Pre-Alps for the presence of B. (Insubrites) tedeschii Sciaky, 1977, previously known only from the Como Pre-Alps; 4) the description of a new species of Boldoriella, very differentiated even from B. tedeschii, collected further West in the western Varese Pre-Alps: Boldoriella (Insubrites) verbanensis n. sp.
