Three new leiodid beetle species, viz. Petkovskiella henrikenghoffi sp. n. (Republic of Macedonia, Mt. Dautica), Babuniella jovanhadzii sp. n. (Republic of Macedonia, Mt. Karadžica) and Magdelainella milojebrajkovici sp. n. (Serbia, Mt. Javor), are described and diagnostified. Both adult genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. Babuniella Z. Karaman is given a full generic status. All new species studied are clearly distinct from their closest congeners. These forms are of the Tertiary or even pre-Tertiary origin and age, and represent both relicts and endemics inhabiting central and southern areas of the Balkan Peninsula.

Trechus (Trechus) nezlobinskyi sp. n. is described from a high-altitude area of Jablanica Mt. (southwest Republic of Macedonia). The new species belongs to the “obtusiusculus” group of species and it is treated as most closely related to Trechus (Trechus) ravasinianus Lorenz, 1998 from Central Albania. The diagnostic characters of the new species are described and illustrated.

The new leiodid beetle species, Remyella raskae n. sp. and Remyella javorensis n. sp. (both from caves in Southwest Serbia, region of Sandzak), are described and diagnosed. Adult genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The new species studied are clearly distinct from their closest congeners. The new forms are of Tertiary or even Pre-Tertiary age and originated during the Alpine Orogeny, which affected vast areas of the Balkan Peninsula, including the Dinarides, their terra typica. The new species represent endemic relicts inhabiting Southwest Serbia. Thorough analysis indicates that the new Remyella taxa originated in the proto-Balkan region; their present distributions correspond to at least a part of their primordial ranges (and habitats).

A new leptodirine leiodid beetle species, Parapropus vitorogensis sp. n., from a cave in the western part of the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is described and diagnosed. Both male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The new species is clearly distinct from its closest congeners. The new taxon is of Tertiary or even pre-Tertiary age and originated during the Alpine Orogeny that affected vast areas of the Balkan Peninsula, including the Dinarides, its terra typica. The new species is both endemic and relict, inhabiting western Bosnia and Herzegovina only.

A new leptodirine beetle species, Pholeuonopsis (Pholeuonopsis) perucensis sp. n., from a cave in Eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina is both described and diagnosed. The structure of both male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are imaged. The new beetle species is clearly distinct from all other congeners. It probably belongs to an old phyletic lineage of Tertiary origin, like other known Pholeuonopsis taxa from the Western Balkan Peninsula. The new species is both an endemic and a relict inhabiting solely Eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Two new ground beetle species from western Serbia are described, Omphreus (Omphreus) ovcarensis sp. n. (from Mt. Ovčar) and Omphreus (Omphreus) serbooccidentalis sp. n. (from Bukovi Peak, Mt. Maljen). Male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are illustrated. The two new species are clearly distinct from their closest congeners. They have a restricted and probably relict distribution, endemic to the Dinaric Alps in Serbia. A key to five species and two subspecies of the genus Omphreus Dejean from Serbia is presented.

A New Species

A new species of endogean leptodirine leiodids (Magdelainella studenicae sp. n.) from the valley of the Studenica River, village of Milice, near Usce in Southwest Serbia, is diagnosed and described. This new species differs clearly from all other closely related taxa. Magdelainella Jeannel belongs to a phyletic lineage which includes three more genera: Knirschiella Gu?orguiev, Kosaniniella S. Curcic, Brajkovic & B. Curcic, and Derveniella Pavicevic & Perreau. Derveniella is given full generic status in the present paper; its members are known from Southeast Serbia only. Magdelainella noesskei (Apfelbeck), M. winkleri Jeannel, M. bozidarcurcici S. Curcic & Brajkovic, M. mucanjensis S. Curcic, Brajkovic, B. Curcic & Sch?nmann, M. milojebrajkovici S. Curcic & B. Curcic, M. zivojindjordjevici S. Curcic, Brajkovic, B. Curcic & Sch?nmann, and M. nikolateslai S. Curcic, Brajkovic, B. Curcic & Sch?nmann are sharply delimited and represent valid species. The following new combinations are proposed for three species of Magdelainella: Kosaniniella hussoni (Jeannel), comb n., K. nonveilleri (Pavicevic & Perreau), comb. n., and K. orientalis (Pavicevic & Perreau), comb. n. The Magdelainella-Knirschiella-Kosaniniella-Derveniella complex is probably of Mesogeid age and origin; its species originated during the Alpine Orogeny, which affected vast areas of the Balkan Peninsula, their terra typica.

Three New Species

Abstract The fauna of bristletails of the genus Lepismachilis Verhoeff, 1910 in Montenegro and Serbia includes only one species L. (Berlesilis) targionii (Grassi, 1887) with 2 + 2 eversible vesicles on abdominal urocoxites II–VI. Three new species of this genus are described: L. (Lepismachilis) prijepolja sp. nov., L. (Lepismachilis) limensa sp. nov. from Serbia, and L. (Lepismachilis) alexandrae sp. nov. from Montenegro. All described new species belong to the species group of the subgenus Lepismachilis s. str. with 2 + 2 eversible vesicles on abdominal urocoxites II–V. Lepismachilis prijepolja sp. nov. differs from L. y-signata Kratochvíl, 1945 and L. notata Stach, 1919 by the color, drawings and ratios of the compound eyes; ratios of sensory field on fore femur of male, number of divisions of ovipositor. Lepismachilis limensa sp. nov. differs from L. hauseri Bitsch, 1974 and L. abchasica Kaplin, 2017 by ratios of paired ocelli, sensory field on fore femur of male; ratios and chaetotaxy of maxillary and labial palps. Lepismachilis alexandrae sp. nov. differs from L. abchasica by the drawings of the compound eyes; ratios of paired ocelli, sensory field on fore femur of male; number of divisions of the parameres and gonapophyses. A list of the Machilidae occurring in Balkan Peninsula is also provided.
