Description

Centromerus petrovi sp. nov. (male and female) is described and illustrated from a cave in the Strandzha Mountain, Turkey (European part). The new species is closely related to Centromerus milleri Deltshev, 1974, known from caves of the Rhodope Mountains, southern Bulgaria, from the Ruj Mountain, western Bulgaria and from eastern Rhodope Mountains, Greece. A new synonymy is established: Centromerus turcicus Wunderlich, 1995, syn. nov. = Centromerus valkanovi Deltshev, 1983.
