Abstract — Two “subspecies” of the diplopod genus Macrochaetosoma Absolon & Lang, M. troglomontanum biokovense
Mršić & M. troglomontanum deleemanorum Gulička are synonymized and attributed to M. troglomontanum Absolon &
Lang. Abundant material from Montenegro and Herzegovina led us to reanalyze taxonomic relationships of member of
the genus Macrochaetosoma (as well as these of some related taxa); some biogeographic and ic details are also
briefly discussed.
