Abstract
A new species of Ancylosis Zeller, 1839 from Afghanistan, Ancylosis palianytsia sp. nov., is described from material hidden amongst the paratypes of Staudingeria monella Roesler, 1973. Images of the adults of both sexes and of their genitalia are given. A key to the related species is given, based on a combination of characters.
