【 摘 要 】

The article provides new data on the range and biology of Acrobasis khachella (Amsel, 1950) in Central Asia. The species is recorded for the first time from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The vertical distribution of the species ranges from 880 to 3,000 m. The geographical distribution of the species includes Central Iran (Zendjan Prov.), the Shakhdarinsky Mts. (Tajikistan), the Dzhungarsky Alatau Mts., the Syrdaryinsky Karatau Mts. (Kazakhstan) and several mountain ridges within North, Inner, and West Tian-Shan and Alai. A. khachella inhabits dry stony stations: steppes and semideserts. The article describes the external variability of the species that shows differences in size and wing pattern. The female and its genitalia are figured for the first time.
