Abstract
A new troglobitic diplopod, Hyleoglomeris faberi n. sp., is described from a cave in western Serbia. Taxonomic relationships among European members of the genus Hyleoglomeris Verhoeff, 1910 (and some related taxa) and a number of biogeographical data are briefly discussed.
Highlights
The millipede genus Hyleoglomeris Verhoeff, 1910 is one of the largest taxa in the order Glomerida (Golovatch et al, 2006, 2012)
The western border of its area of distribution lies in Europe, in Greece, with only two described species: Hyleoglomeris epirotica (Mauriès, 1966), and H. beroni Mauriès, 1984
Careful examination showed that these individuals belong to the genus Hyleoglomeris
