The following new cavernicolous ground beetle taxa are described from three
caves in eastern Serbia: Duvalius (Paraduvalius) trifunovici sp. n., from the
Mandina Pećina Cave, village of Zlot, near Bor, Kučajske Planine Mts., D.
(P.) rtanjensis sp. n., from the Golema Porica Pit, Mt. Rtanj, and
Glabroduvalius gen. n., G. tupiznicensis sp. n., from the Gornja Lenovačka
Pećina Cave, village of Lenovac, near Zaječar, Mt. Tupižnica. The new taxa
are easily distinguished from related organisms. All important morphological
features have been listed, along with the diagnoses and illustrations of the
taxa. The new taxa are relicts and endemics of eastern Serbia and probably
belong to old phyletic lineages of Tertiary or even pre-Tertiary origin.
