Plutomurus weinerae sp. nov. from Usholta Cave, Racha-Lechkhumi and Kvemo Svaneti region, Georgia, and P. danialensis sp. nov. from Danial Cave, Mazandaran province, Iran are described, illustrated and differentiated from other morphologically similar congeners. New species are distinguishable from similar species by head and abdominal macrochaetotaxy (P. weinerae) and by shorter antennae (P. danialensis). An updated identification key to the species of the genus Plutomurus known from the Western Palearctic is presented. A list of the invertebrate communities for Usholta and Danial caves is provided.
描述、图示了来自格鲁吉亚拉恰-列赤胡米和下斯瓦涅季地区乌绍尔塔洞穴的新物种温氏冥盲步甲（Plutomurus weinerae sp. nov.）以及来自伊朗马赞德兰省达尼亚尔洞穴的新物种达尼亚尔冥盲步甲（P. danialensis sp. nov.），并将它们与其他形态相似的同属物种进行了区分。新物种可通过头部和腹部的大毛序（温氏冥盲步甲）以及较短的触角（达尼亚尔冥盲步甲）与相似物种区分开来。给出了一份西古北区已知的冥盲步甲属物种的最新鉴定检索表。提供了乌绍尔塔洞穴和达尼亚尔洞穴的无脊椎动物群落清单。
