ABSTRACT
The paper deals with morphology of the representatives of an entirely stygobiont, molecularly distinct and ancient clade of Bulgarian Truncatelloidea. Ten nominal species of seven genera (two of them new: Devetakiola Georgiev and Stoyanovia Georgiev) are analysed; six of them (except four Pontobelgrandiella species) are re-described. The knowledge of subterranean stygobiont gastropods is still limited; cave-dwelling species are mostly known only from empty shells found on the surface. The study includes all the Bulgarian stygobiont truncatelloideans known not only from empty shells. Their shells, soft part pigmentation, female reproductive organs and penes are presented. The results are compared with fragmentary data from the literature.
