Figs 27D , 56 , 58 Material examined CENTRAL-WEST GEORGIA – Ratscha-Letschchumi • 1 ♂ ; Ambrolauri District , W of Ambrolauri, Achara, above street SH17, riverside opposite Zeda Ghvardia , Eckis caves , right cave ; 42.54° N , 42.89° E ; 16 Jun. 2019 ; H. Reip leg.; SMNG . Remarks This male, collected in Achara, a new cave near Ambrolauri ( Fig. 58 , violet triangle with a question mark), is characterized by the presence of a lobe (l) on the mesomeral lamella and of a rift between the mesomeral claw and lobe, similar to conditions observed in the typical L. lobata sp. nov. However, this male is slightly different from those of L. lobata sp. nov. in showing a more slender and straight promere, an elongate mesomeral claw, a somewhat reduced mesomeral lamella, as well as an elongate tip of the solenomere. The length of the latter we generally find constant within the species. Further, the locality of this male is slightly separated from the four sites of L. lobata sp. nov. All this may indicate that another new, cryptic taxon might be involved here, but in the absence of more males we do not dare formalize this. The newly discovered cave was probably part of a larger parted cave system, where the entrance to the second part is just a few meters left of the above cave. Both caves were opened and divided into separate caves during the building of street SH17. We call this small new cave system Eckis Caves after the name of the discoverer, Eckard Göbel.
