Abstract

A new species, Corimalia tadzhika Zherikhin et Korotyaev sp. n., is described from the lower mountain belt of southern Tajikistan. The new species is very similar to C. fausti (Reitter), but may be easily distinguished by the long semi-erect pubescence of black hairs on the inner face of hind tibia in the both sexes and by the structure of the male genitalia.
