Lithobius (Monotarsobius) fomichevi sp.n., a new species of lithobiid centipedes (Chilopoda: Lithobiomorpha) from Tajikistan, with a key to the Middle Asian species of the subgenus

Lithobius ( Monotarsobius ) fomichevi sp.n. is described based on eight specimens from the Pamir Mts, Tajikistan. The new species is close to L . ( M .) muminabadicus (Zalesskaja, 1978) but differs well by the size of both the body and Tömösváry’s organ and by features of female gonopods.
