Abstract: 
Chaetomargoreicheia Magrini Bulirsch, 2005 is a recently established genus of scaritine ground beetles (Bulirsch Guéorguiev, 2008) (treated by certain authors as a subgenus of the genus Reicheadella Reitter, 1913) (Magrini Bulirsch, 2005; Balkenohl, 2017) which currently contains two endogean species inhabiting the Balkan Peninsula: Chaetomargoreicheia zoufali (Reitter, 1913) and C. lakotai (Magrini Bulirsch, 2005) (Balkenohl, 2003, 2017; Magrini Bulirsch, 2005; Bulirsch Guéorguiev, 2008). The aforementioned species are montane and inhabit confined geographic areas (Jeannel, 1957; Magrini Bulirsch, 2005). C. zoufali was found only in the surroundings of the village of Ravno (collected beneath a deep layer of leaf-litter), Mt. Bjelasnica, near Trebinje, E Herzegovina (Bosnia and Herzegovina), while C. lakotai was found at the entrance of a cave nearby a road (collected under a huge stone), in Mt. Lovćen, near Kotor, S Montenegro (Reitter, 1913; Holdhaus, 1924; Jeannel, 1957; Magrini Bulirsch, 2005). Chaetomargoreicheia species represent quite rare, stenoendemic taxa, for each of the up-to-now known species only one specimen has been collected by hand so far (Reitter, 1913; Jeannel, 1957; Magrini Bulirsch, 2005). The fourth author of the current study investigated numerous underground and endogean high-altitude habitats in Dalmatia (Croatia) in the last few years. As a result of the exploration, he has recently collected a small sample of scaritine ground beetles from a cave in S Croatia. After thorough analysis of the sample, we have identified a new Chaetomargoreicheia species.
