We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of the optical counterparts V 801 Ara and V 926 Sco of the low-mass X-ray binaries 1636-536 and 1735-444. To assist in the interpretation of the spectroscopic observations we derive new ephemerides for the photometric variations of both sources. Superior conjunction of the line emission region occurs at photometric phase ~ 0.7 in both sources, which indicates that these variations are dominated by a component originating from the point where the mass stream from the donor star intersects the outer disk. We find that the properties of 1636-536/V 801 Ara and 1735-444/V 926 Sco are very similar. Based on observations made at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile
