<em>Lobesia arzilae</em> sp. n. and <em>Willibaldiana culatrae</em> sp. n. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) found in Portugal are described. The new species were collected respectively in Paúl de Arzila, a nature reserve located in central-west Portugal, close to the city of Coimbra and in Ilha da Culatra, which lies in the <em>Parque Natural da Ria Formosa</em>, in the region of Faro, situated in the extreme south of Portugal. L. arzilae differs from other species of the genus <em>Lobesia</em> by male genitalia; socius is lateral, developed extending upwards; sacculus has a group of long spines apically dentate and is armed with strong dorsal thorn. <em>W. culatrae</em> differs from other species of the genus <em>Willibaldiana</em> by genitalia: in male valva is simple, in female cingulum is long and developed. Images of the holotypes and the genitalia are provided.
