Elytra hemispherical, distinctly longer than wide (index EL/EW 1.95), with maximum width at middle; elytral surface covered with very sparse, short and erect pubescence; striae absent. Site of stria 3 with four (three discal and one preapical) setae, humeral group of umbilicate pores not aggregated, first anterior pore of humeral group isolated and situated before the level of the first discal seta. Pore 5 located nearer to pore 4 than to pore 6.

Distribution. Bosnia & Hercegovina, Lebršnik Mts., Vilina pećina cave. So far known only from the type locality. Vilina pećina cave is also the type locality for other subterranean Coleoptera, namely Anthroherpon hoermanni hypsophilum Apfelbeck, 1907, Blattodromus herculeanus Reitter, 1904, Anillocharis ottonis Reitter, 1903 and Leonhardella (Leonhardella) angulicollis Reitter, 1903 (Cholevidae, Leptodirini), as well as Neotrechus setniki Reitter, 1904 (Carabidae, Trechini). Two other species of the genus Neotrechus were also found in this cave: Neotrechus hilfi brevipennis Winkler, 1926 and Neotrechus suturalis amplipennis Müller, 1911.
