Abstract
The newly described endogean ground beetle subspecies, Duvalius (Biharotrechus) durmitorensis bulbosus Janák, 2025, was found for the first time outside its type locality, Bendovac Peak, Mt. Bjelasica, eastern Montenegro. Recently, specimens of this taxon were collected in the nearby Bracanovića Pećina Cave in the village of Lubnice, near the town of Berane, on the slopes of Mt. Bjelasica. Morphological analysis confirmed that adult specimens from both localities belong to the same subspecies and that there are no significant differences between them.
