| Abstract: | A cave-dwelling population of Pauropus furcifer Silvestri (Pauropodidae, Pauropoda) has been found in the Zlotska Pecina Cave, near Bor, East Serbia, Yugoslavia. Some morphological traits of the specimens studied may demonstrate adaptations of this population for life underground. Additionally, some taxonomical and biogeographical features of this pauropod species have been discussed in view of the evolution of the underground karst relief in the Balkan Peninsula. |
