Abstract

The article reports on the record of Oxytelus (Tanycraerus) jessoensis Bernhauer, 1907 from Kamchatka. It provides illustrations of its habitus, aedeagus and male sternite VIII. The article also describes and illustrates the differences between Oxytelus. jessoensis and the related species, namely, Oxytelus (Tanycraerus) laqueatus Marsham, 1802, Oxytelus (Tanycraerus) assingi Schülke, 2012 and Oxytelus (Tanycraerus) ruthenus Semionenkov & Gildenkov, 2022. Oxytelus jessoensis differs from O. assingi in the lighter coloration of the antennal base (segments 1–4) and mouthparts. The species is noticeably different from O. assingi and O. ruthenus in the structure of male abdominal sternite VIII and in the structure of the aedeagus parameres.
