Abstract

A new species, Gracilentulus sarmaticus sp. nov. is described from southeast Ukraine. The new species differs from all Gracilentulus species in large foretarsal sensillum t3. It is the most similar to Gracilentulus aoki IMADATé 1982 and G. chichibuensis Nakamura 1995 from Japan, but differs from these species in having sensillum b’ present.
