Abstract
Five new species of Chersodromia: C. gamoviensis sp. nov., C. leleji sp. nov., C. mohican sp. nov., C. stenopsis sp. nov. and C. yamanei sp. nov. are described from the southern part of Primorsk Territory, Russian Far East. A key to species from this region is given. Chersodromia kamtchatkiana Chvála, 1970, syn. nov. is synonymized with C. nubifera Coquillett, 1899. Several species reported in the present paper including C. nubifera have palpal sensory pits, and it is suggested that this character is widespread in this genus.References
