Abstract

A new species, Scolopostethus gissarensis sp. nov. (Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae: Rhyparochrominae: Drymini), is described from Middle Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan). The new species is placed in the genus Scolopostethus Fieber, 1860, based on a combination of morphological characters. The structural characters of the foreleg and the paramere distinctly differentiate it from other Palaearctic species within this genus. Scolopostethus gissarensis sp. nov. is primarily compared to S. decoratus (Hahn, 1833). Colour photographs depicting the habitus and structural details of the body are provided for both S. gissarensis sp. nov. and S. decoratus (Hahn, 1833).
