Diagnosis.

Body length in male 5.9–6.7, in female 6.8–7.5. Frons not protruding above clypeus base (Fig. 1 H View Figure 1 ); labium reaching metasternum, but not surpassing it (Fig. 1 O View Figure 1 ); hind femur distinctly tapering towards apex, without spines (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 ); hind tibia curved basally (as in Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 ); swelling above propleural suture curved (Fig. 1 H View Figure 1 ); groove on posterior part of mesopleuron present, shallow (Fig. 1 K View Figure 1 ); paired pits on pronotum between calli absent (as in Fig. 1 G View Figure 1 ); setae on posterior margin of hind femur denser than on other parts of femur, distinctly shorter than hind femur width (Fig. 2 E View Figure 2 ); genital capsule slightly longer than wide, acute apically, with outgrowth near each paramere socket (Fig. 5 Q View Figure 5 ); apical half of right paramere as wide as basal half (Fig. 5 A View Figure 5 ); apical process of right paramere more or less acute apically in posterior view but not elongate (Fig. 5 D View Figure 5 ); sensory lobe of left paramere swollen (Fig. 5 B View Figure 5 ); vesica with two membranous lobes (Fig. 7 A – C View Figure 7 ); dorsal labiate plate as long as wide, sclerotized ring 2–2.5 × as long as wide; distance between sclerotized rings ~ 0.5–0.75 × as long as sclerotized ring width; membranous swelling on dorsal labiate plate present, rounded, not reaching sclerotized ring (Fig. 4 F View Figure 4 ); posterior wall with dorsal structure between interramal lobes (Fig. 5 G View Figure 5 ).

Distribution.

Stenodema laevigata is mostly known from Western Palearctic, and there are no records from Siberia. However, the species was recorded from Kyrgyzstan and China ( Kerzhner and Josifov 1999).
