Abstract
Belladrilus (B.) otarion, n.sp. is described from a cave in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The excess of partner's spermatozoa is resorbed in the ental part of the spermathecal duct. The Belladrilus genus and its two subgenera (Belladrilus s.s. and Santomesia) are reevaluated. A key to Belladrilus species is presented.
