, Vilina pećina cave, Lebršnik Mts., Hercegovina. Photo Marjan Komnenov.
Pronotum elongate, as long and wide as head, with maximum width in anterior third, basal part distinctly narrower than anterior (index PL/PW 1.52).
Elytra hemispherical, distinctly longer than wide (index EL/EW 1.95), with maximum width at middle; elytral surface covered with very sparse, short and erect pubescence; striae absent. Site of stria 3 with four (three discal and one preapical) setae, humeral group of umbilicate pores not aggregated, first anterior pore of humeral group isolated and situated before the level of the first discal seta. Pore 5 located nearer to pore 4 than to pore 6.
Male genitalia (
Fig. 27
): aedeagus large and elongate, gently arcuate towards apex in lateral aspect, sagittal aileron very small. Apical lobe slightly curved to left in dorsal aspect. Endophallus with slightly defined, short and elongate copulatory piece which is about one fourth of aedeagus length. Parameres short and wide, each with two thick setae at apex.
Female genitalia: as on
Fig. 32

Distribution.
Bosnia
& Hercegovina, Lebršnik Mts., Vilina pećina cave. So far known only from the
type
locality. Vilina pećina cave is also the
type
locality for other subterranean
Coleoptera
, namely
Anthroherpon hoermanni hypsophilum
Apfelbeck, 1907
,
Blattodromus herculeanus
Reitter, 1904
,
Anillocharis ottonis
Reitter, 1903
and
Leonhardella (Leonhardella) angulicollis
Reitter, 1903
(
Cholevidae, Leptodirini
), as well as
Neotrechus setniki
Reitter, 1904
(
Carabidae
,
Trechini
). Two other species of the genus
Neotrechus
were also found in this cave:
Neotrechus hilfi brevipennis
Winkler, 1926
and
