In this paper, we prove that on a K$\ddot{a}$hler spin foliatoin of codimension $q=2n$, any eigenvalue ${\lambda}$ of type $r(r{\in}\{1,{\cdots},[\frac{n+1}{2}]\})$ of the basic Dirac operator $D_b$ satisfies the inequality ${\lambda}^2{\geq}\frac{r}{4r-2}\;{\inf}_M{\sigma}^{\nabla}$, where ${\sigma}^{\nabla}$ is the transversal scalar curvature of $\mathcal{F}$.

We study the properties of the transversal Killing and twistor spinors for a Riemannian foliation with a transverse spin structure. And we investigate the relations between them. As an application, we give a new lower bound for the eigenvalues of the basic Dirac operator by using the transversal twistor operator.
