Abstract

The cave leptodirine beetle species of the genus Blattochaeta lives mainly in caves at higher altitudes of Montenegro and on the Herzegovinian side of Orjen Mountain. Previously, 5 species and 3 subspecies of this genus were known. In the present paper a new subspecies from Glogova jama [pit] in Mt Snije`nica in Croatia is described. The new subspecies is the smallest subspecies of Blattochaeta marianii, a species that lives in the wider Orjen plateau on the border of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.
