Abstract
A new species of Rhaphidophora (R. barociniturricchiae n.sp.) is described from a cave of Seram Island (Moluccas, Indonesia). The new species shows affinities with R. wasile and R. amboinensis from Halmaera and Amboina Islands respectively. The geographic distribution of the genus Rhaphidophora and the close genus Stonycophora is discussed in relation to the Wallace and Liddeker lines.
