A new species of peculiar troglobiont (stygobiont) amphipod — Kruberia abchasica sp.n. of the family Gammaridae is described, for which a new genus is proposed. Kruberia gen.n. is characterized by a specific habitus (stocky body, elongate appendageses densely covered with hairs) and modified mouthparts (outer plate of maxilla I with comb-like spines, spine row of right mandible with modified spine). Two gammarid specimens were found in the siphon Dva Kapitana (at the depth of 2,175 m) in the deepest underground system — Krubera Cave in Abkhazia.
