Résumé
During a biospeleological survey of caves of Imereti region (Georgia), a new species of the beetle genus Bergrothia Reitter, B. barbakadzei sp. nov. was discovered in three caves: Datvis (Bear), Prometheus and Melouri caves (Sataplia-Tskaltubo karst massif, Tskaltubo district). The new species is described, illustrated and differentiated from other morphologically similar species of the genus-B. mingrelica (Reitter). Bergrothia barbakadzei sp. nov. is the first cavernicolous species of the genus Bergrothia. A key to the species of this genus is provided.
