ETYMOLOGY. The name of the new species is dedicat- ed to the collector of the type series, Konstantin Tomkovich (Moscow, Russia) .
DISTRIBUTION. Afrotropical: Oman.
DIAGNOSIS. Argyrochlamys tomkovichi sp.n. belongs to the A. impudicus species group [ Grichanov, 2010]. The new species keys to A. marshalli , differing from the latter in shorter female body; coxae with black cilia and bristles; female arista-like stylus distinctly shorter than postpedicel (20/25); costal section between R 1 and R 2+3 2.8 times longer than costal section between R 2+3 and R 4+5. A. marshalli females have coxae with yellow cilia and bristles; arista-like stylus as long as postpedicel; costal section between R 1 and R 2+3 3.2 times longer than costal section between R 2+3 and R 4+5 [ Grichanov, 2010].
