Abstract
The Pestera de la Movile is caracterized by its thermomineral waters c ontaining H2S. Most of the terrestrial species discovered are troglobi tic and new for science, a probable consequence of a long isolation. T hree species of Campodeidae are recorded from this cave. While Plusioc ampa isterina Conde ressembles endogean species, two new species (Plus iocampa euxina n. sp. and Campodea neuherzi n. sp.) present clearly tr oglomorphic adaptations. They are related respectively to Plusiocampa evallonychia Silvestri and Campodea taurica Silvestri known from a cav e in the vicinity of Mount Taurus, Peninsula of Crimea, just facing th e southern Dobrogea across the Black Sea (Euxinus-Pontus).
