Abstract

The genus Parascleroderma Kieffer, 1904 belonging to the subfamily Pristocerinae is recorded from Russia for the first time. Two new species of this genus are described and illustrated from males: P. astrakhanicum sp. nov. from the Astrakhan Province and P. austrouralicum sp. nov. from the Orenburg Province. A key for both Russian species is provided. Morphological differences of the pristocerine genera Parascleroderma and Foenobethylus Kieffer, 1913 are discussed.
