Cannula (ca) long, C-shaped. Telopodite long compared to coxa, consisting of a transverse, setose prefemorite (pf) and a somewhat C-shaped (in lateral and mesal views) acropodite (a) longitudinally divided in its distal half into two branches, solenomeral branch (sb) and solenophore (sph). Solenomeral branch positioned mesally, with a narrow base, then abruptly expands and transversely divides into two processes, solenomere (s) and distal solenomeral process (dsp). Solenomere (s) long, slender, distally expanded (in lateral and mesal views), forming U-shaped rift with distal solenomeral process. Distal solenomeral process (dsp) extends in the same direction as solenomere,

Solenophore (sph) longer and more robust than solenomeral branch, characterized by a lateral, ear-shaped lamella (ll) and a distal projection (dp). Lateral lamella (ll) begins at bifurcation of solenomeral branch and solenophore, surrounding laterally solenophore up to beginning of distal projection; lateral margins of lamella smooth. Distal projection (dp) sigmoid (in lateral and mesal views), with well-developed, basal lamellar lobe (bl). Seminal groove (sg) starts from seminal fossa (sf) mesally on prefemorite, extends along mesal side of acropodite up to bifurcation of solenomeral branch and solenophore, then passes on lateral side of solenomeral branch, further on solenomere, ending subdistally.

Despite many years of speleological and biospeleological research in the Cerjanska Cave, the new taxon was not registered until the first Biospeleological Expedition of the Serbian Biospeleological Society, organized at the end of October 2017. All 11 specimens were found in a small area, in the initial part of the cave. One male, one female and seven juveniles were found on the left side of the river, on a small branch of a tree lying on the wet sand. Another male and female were found just on the opposite side of the river, on the wall, in copulation (Fig.
