Abstract

This paper presents a description of a new monotypic genus of the family Anthroleucosomatidae – Cornogonopus pavicevici gen. nov., sp. nov. – from a cave in eastern Serbia. This new genus is the tenth of the “Bulgarosoma” complex of genera. The new species is illustrated with micrographs, SEM photographs, drawings, as well as in situ photographs. Further, an identification key to all 10 genera of this complex is provided and the structure of the posterior and anterior gonopods is briefly discussed. The geographical distribution of all genera is presented, with a distribution map attached.
