A. zupcense tartariensis: Paratypes, three males labelled: “ Montenegro, Durmitor Mt., Jama na Vjetrenim Brdima (“ Pit on the Windy Hills ”), 2196 m (entrance), 23-VI-1991, (leg. S.Ognjenović)” (white labels, hw) (CDP).
Diagnosis. L: 3.5–5.1 mm, TL: 3.3–4.8 mm. Head large, elongate, distinctly longer than wide (index HL/HW 1.1–1.15), frontal furrows moderately impressed, reaching half of head length, with two pairs of long supraorbital setae; neck constriction distinct; genae subparallel. Clypeus and labrum with three pairs of setae, outer pairs longer. Antennae long (AL 3.1 mm). Pronotum short-elongate (index PL/PW 1.23), moderately wider than head, with maximum width in anterior quarter, basal part distinctly narrower than anterior, anterior angles small, acute, posterior angles protruding, acute. Elytra elongate, subovate, distinctly longer than wide (index EL/EW 1.72), with maximum width at middle; elytral surface covered with sparse, short and erect pubescence; striae absent. Site of stria 3 with three (two discal and one preapical) setae. Ssp. tartariensis differs from nominative form by its smaller size (3.5–4.2 mm), distinctly narrower elytra and more curved apical part of aedeagus.
Male genitalia (Figs. 25 and 26): aedeagus very long and slender, gradually narrowed towards apex, sagittal aileron narrow, endophallus armed with very slightly defined long and subspatulate copulatory piece, about twofifths as long as median lobe. Parameres long and slender, with two long setae at apex.
Female genitalia: as on Fig. 31.
Distribution. Montenegro, Durmitor Mts., Pećina u Zupcima cave, Jama na Vjetrenim Brdima pit.
