Abstract

Hesperentomon tianshanicum Martynova, 1970 is redescribed from type material. Inaccuracies in the original description are corrected, for example, the presence of additional sensillum b'2 on foretarsus and presence of P5a on mesonotum. Details of the porotaxy are added. Differences are given between the redescribed specimens and Chinese specimens described under the same name by Yin & Xie (non Martynova). Comparative analysis of species chaetotaxy within the genus Hesperentomon is given.
