Dinaric karst in Western Balkans is especially biodiverse in cave beetle fauna. Despite the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina being a relatively well-studied region, new species are still discovered and described regularly, even in recent times. Discoveries of new genera are, however, rare. Based on recently collected beetle specimens in the cave Lijina Peina near the town of Kreevo in the region of Bosansko Rudogorje in Central Bosnia, a new troglobiotic leptodirine genus Rudogorites gen. nov. and a single new species R. simonei sp. nov. are described. The region of Bosansko Rudogorje consists mainly of non-carbonate rocks, sandstones and polymetallic ore. In the area, there is a patch of isolated karst where a new endemic subterranean fauna has been found. An updated key to the Leptodirini genera of the Apholeuonus phyletic group is provided.
西巴尔干的迪纳里克喀斯特在洞穴甲虫动物群中特别多样化。尽管波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的领土是一个相对研究充分的地区，但仍在定期发现和描述新物种，甚至在最近也是如此。然而，新属的发现却很少见。基于最近在中波斯尼亚博桑斯卡·鲁多戈里耶地区克雷沃镇附近的利吉纳·皮纳洞穴中收集的甲虫标本，描述了一个新的洞穴拟步甲属鲁多戈里特属 Rudogorites gen. nov. 和一个新种 R. simonei sp. nov.。博桑斯卡·鲁多戈里耶地区主要由非碳酸盐岩石、砂岩和多金属矿石组成。在该地区，有一片孤立的喀斯特地貌，那里发现了一个新的特有地下动物群。提供了阿波勒乌诺斯进化群的拟步甲属的最新修订钥匙。
