The taxonomic positions of species in the genus <i>Setina</i> are poorly known and not well established, with ongoing uncertainties in their classification. In this work, the distribution of <i>Setina irrorella pseudoirrorella</i> Freina and Witt, 1985, and <i>Setina cantabrica</i> Freina and Witt, 1985, in Spain and Portugal is updated, expanding their distribution area based on revised bibliographic data and information provided by researchers and public or private collections. The taxonomic status of the binomial <i>flavicans–irrorella</i> and <i>cantabrica–roscida</i> are discussed, and their specific validity is analysed, comparing the differences observed between these taxa, which are studied on the basis of external morphological characteristics, genitalia, and molecular genetics. An updated distribution map is presented. The authors conclude that <i>S. cantabrica</i> and <i>S. i. pseudoirrorella</i> are the only two species of the genus <i>Setina</i> present in the Iberian Peninsula.
