Only two species of Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) (Chthoniidae) are presently known from Dobruja, Romania. Among these one should mention Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) tetrachelatus (Preyssler) (not endemic) and C. (E.) scythicus Georgescu & Cãpuşe (endemic). A new cave species belonging to the genus Chthonius - Chthonius (Ephippiochthonius) borissketi Ćurčić and Sarbu n. sp., is described from a well nr. Movile Cave, Mangalia, Romania and is endemic to the area studied. Its taxonomic relationships with phenetically close congeners, as well as its comparative morphological traits, are described in detail. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br. 173038
