Abstract: We present a detailed study of a generalised one-dimensional Kronig-Penney model using

d e l t a e x t - d e l t a^{'}

potentials. We analyse the band structure and the density of states in two situations. In the first case we consider an infinite array formed by identical

d e l t a e x t - d e l t a^{'}

potentials standing at the linear lattice nodes. This case will be known throughout the paper as the one-species hybrid Dirac comb. We investigate the consequences of adding the

d e l t a^{'}

interaction to the Dirac comb by comparing the band spectra and the density of states of pure Dirac-

d e l t a

combs and one-species hybrid Dirac combs. Secondly we study the quantum system that arises when the periodic potential is the one obtained from the superposition of two one-species hybrid Dirac combs displaced one with respect to the other and with different couplings. The latter will be known as the two-species hybrid Dirac comb. One of the most remarkable results is the appearance of a curvature change in the band spectrum when the

d e l t a^{'}

couplings are above a critical value.
