Abstract

Longitarsus leonardicarloi (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Galerucinae: Alticini), new species belonging to Longitarsus anchusae species group is described from Turkmenistan. The new species is illustrated with images of male and female genitalia; dorsal, lateral, and frontal habiti; and protarsomeres of both sexes. It is compared with L. anchusae (Paykull), L. anatolicus Weise and L. hittita Biondi, which are illustrated with images of the median lobe of the aedeagi, dorsal and frontal habiti. A key to all species currently included in L. anchusae group is provided.
