A new leptodirine leiodid beetle species, Pholeuonopsis (Pholeuonopsis) sljivovicensis sp. n., from a cave in western Serbia is described and diagnosed. The views of both male and female genitalia and other taxonomically important characters are imaged. The new species is clearly distinct from the closest relatives. It probably belongs to an old phyletic lineage of Mesogeid origin, like other known Pholeuonopsis taxa from the western part of the Balkan Peninsula. The new species is both an endemic and a relict inhabiting solely western Serbia. Morphological comparisons among the Serbian Pholeuonopsis species are provided, together with a key to the species. The genus Serbopholeuonopsis B. Ćurčić & Boškova, 2002 is regarded as a junior synonym of the genus Pholeuonopsis Apfelbeck, 1901.
描述并诊断了一种来自塞尔维亚西部洞穴的新的瘦隐翅虫科隐翅虫物种，即斯洛维沃契隐翅虫（Pholeuonopsis (Pholeuonopsis) sljivovicensis sp. n.）。对该物种雄性和雌性生殖器以及其他分类学上重要特征的视图进行了成像。新物种与最亲近的亲属明显不同。它可能属于起源于中地类的古老系统发育谱系，就像巴尔干半岛西部其他已知的隐翅虫分类群一样。新物种是仅栖息于塞尔维亚西部的特有种和残遗种。提供了塞尔维亚隐翅虫物种之间的形态学比较以及物种检索表。2002年的塞尔维亚隐翅虫属（Serbopholeuonopsis B. Ćurčić & Boškova）被视为1901年隐翅虫属（Pholeuonopsis Apfelbeck）的次异名。
