Abstract. Glaphyrus mardjanyanae sp. nov. from the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province of Ta-
jikistan is described and illustrated. The new species belongs to the subgenus Eoglaphyrus Semenov, 1926, 
which so far had included two species, G. (E.) turkestanicus Semenov, 1889 from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan 
and northeastern Afghanistan, and G. (E.) afghanistanicus Skrylnik et Pak, 2021 from central Afghani-
stan. The diagnostic characters and a key to the species of Eoglaphyrus are given. A lectotype for G. sog-
dianus 
Semenov, 1892 is designated.
