Material examined. 1♀: Amankutan, alpine meadow, 39°17'N, 66°54'E, 1600 m, 23.v.1989, M. Barták (CULSP).

This unnamed species differs by the following features: postpedicel at least 3X longer than wide, stylus subequal in length; female sternite 8 swollen, much longer than corresponding tergite; postpronotum entirely microtrichose; katepisternum broadly microtrichose on anterior part, lustrous part V-shaped. This undescribed species cannot be described without associated males.
