Description Measurements and ratios: AL: 1.93; HL: 0.70; HW: 0.65; PL: 0.79; PW: 0.61; EL: 0.54; EW: 0.69; AW: 0.82; ML: 1.15; TL: 5.48; HL/HW: 1.08; PW/HW: 0.94; PW/PL: 0.77; EL/PL: 0.68; EW/PW: 1.13; EL/EW: 0.78; AW/EW: 1.19.
Habitus as in Figure 3a View Figure 3 . Body length: 5.5 mm. Coloration: forebody uniformly reddish brown, legs and antennae reddish brown. In general appearance similar to L. ovchinnikovi , but can be distinguished as follows:
Head 1.08× as long as wide ( Figures 3a and 3b View Figure 3 ,see ratio HL/HW), antennae 1.93 mm long. Pronotum longer than wide, approximately 0.77× as long as wide and 0.94× as wide as head ( Figures 3a and 3b View Figure 3 ; see ratios PW/PL and PW/HW). Elytra 0.78× as long as wide and slightly broader than pronotum, 1.13× as wide as pronotum ( Figures 3a and 3b View Figure 3 ; see ratios EL/EW, and EW/PW). Abdomen wider than elytra ( Figure 3a View Figure 3 ; see ratio AW/EW), approximately 1.20× as wide as elytra.
Male Medioposterior portion of sternite VII concave, with impression bearing short, stout and black setae ( Figure 3c View Figure 3 ). Sternite VIII of the holotype is damaged. Aedeagus large, 1.15 mm long, ventral process sickle shaped in lateral view ( Figures 3d and 3e View Figure 3 ); ventral process long and straight, symmetric in ventral view ( Figure 3f View Figure 3 ).
Female Unknown.
Etymology The species is dedicated to Alexey Klimenko (1970–2017), a Russian collector of beetles. The holotype was in his collection in ZIN.
Differential Diagnosis The new species can be distinguished from all other congeners by the different morphology of the male sexual characters. It differs from all its congeners in Middle Asia by the sickle shaped ventral process of the aedeagus in lateral view. Additionally, the new species is separated from other Lathrobium of Middle Asia as follows:
From L. ovchinnikovi by the smaller body, shorter antennae, wider abdomen, larger aedeagus, and the indistinct and much more setae in medioposterior portion of the male sternite VII.
From L. lackneri , L. brunnipes , L. fulvipenne , L. marani , L. elongatum , L. bucharense , L. concolor , L. geminum , L. kuntzeni , L. vitalyi and L. kastcheevi by the smaller size and the different coloration of the body.
From L. longulum , L. semirufulum and L. matalini by the different coloration of the body and less oblong head.
Distribution and Bionomics The holotype was collected from the northeastern slopes of the Fergana mountain range in Kyrgyzstan ( Figures 1 View Figure 1 and 3g View Figure 3 ). Bionomic data are not available.
