This paper presents a new Polycelis species – Polycelis pantherina from S-W Romania, which can be separated from all the other Polycelis species by the general habitus and especially by the reproductive biology – asexual population with reproduction by fission/fragmentation. The description of the subspecies Polycelis felina lomensis Babalean, 2019 is emended and completed according to ICZN art. 10.1 The subspecies Polycelis felina lomensis is elevated at the species rank by reassigning it from the genus Polycelis to the genus Ijimia: Ijimia lomensis.
