Abstract: A sediment from the subterranean spring-waters of the river Ombla in Komolac near Dubrovnik, Dalmatia, taken several years ago, showed a good survey of the stygobiont mollusc fauna in the unpassable caves in South Dalmatia.The ascertained faunal elements are systematically described and compared with former findings at neighboured places.Altogether result were more than 23 species of more or less eucaval, mostly endemic snails and one endemic freshwater-mussel, together with many tubes of the sessile polychaete Marifugia cavatica Absolon & Hrabé 1930.
