A new blind false scorpion, Microchthonius kasteli n. sp., from the Mićoletova Jama Pit, Rudine, nr. Kaštel, Dalmatia, has been described. The new pseudoscorpion is different from all other congeners. It is probable that this new taxon is the remain of an old tropical soil fauna, which now inhabits the subtropical area of the Mediterranean seaside. Morphometric ratios, figures, and linear measurements of the new species are presented in detail. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 173038
