In this paper new taxa belonging to the family Liacaridae from the Caucasus (Georgia) are described: a new subgenus and species Adoristes (Gordeeviella) krivolutskyi subg. n., sp. n. and a new species Liacarus (Liacarus) longipilis sp. n. The new subgenus Adoristes (Gordeeviella) differs from Adoristes (Adoristes) Hull, 1916 by the shape of its sensilla, with the tip sharply pointed, and of its lamellae, without cuspis. The new species Liacarus (L.) longipilis differs from the rest of species of Liacarus by the presence of very long notogastral setae.
