Abstract

A new genus is established for a new species of cave diplopod from Serbia: Belbogosoma bloweri n. gen., n. sp., which is described, thoroughly illustrated, and diagnosed. The phylogeny of some representatives of the family Anthroleucosomatidae is briefly discussed. A key to genera and species of the family is presented.
