Abstract
A new species in the genus Lygephila Billberg, 1820, L. dubatolovi sp. n. was discovered in the Primorye territory of Russian Far East and in the Liaoning province of North China. The new species is compared with its closest relatives L. maxima and L. ludicra. In addition, the East Asian Lygephila nigricostata (Graeser, 1890) is established as a new synonym of the European Lygephila procax Hübner, [1813].References
