Abstract

Alpioniscus (Illyrionethes) iapodicus n. sp. is described and illustrated. Representing the 14th nominal species of the subgenus Illyrionethes from the Dinaric karst, it is a troglobiotic species collected from the caves in the central part of the Lika region, Croatia. The new species belongs to the strasseri group. Morphological characters differentiating A. iapodicus from other strasseri group representatives are discussed.
