Abstract
Seven new species of the genus Neozavrelia Goetghebuer & Thienemann, 1941, N. kedrovaya sp. nov., N. kuzmichikha sp. nov., N. nadezhdae sp. nov., N. paramushirica sp. nov., N. samarga sp. nov., N. tygda sp. nov., N. zarya sp. nov., from Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East are described and figured. Illustrated redescription of males for four species, N. fengchengensis Wang, Wang, 1996, N. minuta (Linevich, 1963), N. oyabeparvulus (Sasa, Kawai, Ueno, 1988) and N. yakuefea (Sasa, Suzuki, 2000) is given. A description of the pupa N. yakuefea (Sasa, Suzuki, 2000) is provided for the first time. The males of N. oyabeparvulus (Sasa, Kawai, Ueno, 1988) and N. yakuefea (Sasa, Suzuki, 2000) are recorded for the first time for the fauna of Russia. Neozavrelia okamotoi (Sasa, 1989) is a junior synonym Neozavrelia oyabeparvulus (Sasa, Kawai, Ueno, 1988). Neozavrelia ginzanlemeus (Sasa, Suzuki, 2001) is a junior synonym Neozavrelia yakuefea (Sasa, Suzuki, 2000). Keys to the males and pupae of the Russian Neozavrelia species are given.
