Abstract
Two new species, Palpimanus logunovi sp. n. (♂♀) and P. rakhimovi sp. n. (♂♀), are described from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan respectively. Lectotype has been designated for the poorly known species, P. sogdianus Charitonov, 1946 from Uzbekistan and is redescribed based on type and newly collected material. (Re)descriptions, figures, diagnoses, distribution map and photograps of habitats of all the studied species are provided.
