RUSSIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL JOURNAL, 2022.Coprophilus (s. str.) maximus sp.n. from Uttarakhand State, North India is described and illustrated. Until now, the subgenus Coprophilus in-cluded only six species: Coprophilus (s. str.) striatulus (Fabricius, 1792); C. (s. str.) impressus Sharp, 1889; C. (s. str.) sibiricus Bernhauer, 1915; C. (s. str.) castoris Campbell, 1979; C. (s. str.) formosanus Shibata, 1993 and C. (s. str.) qinlingensis Gildenkov, 2017. Only C. (s. str.) striatulus and C. (s. str.) sibiricus have a fairly wide distribution, other species of the subgenus are quite locally distributed. Species of the Coprophilus subge-nus were not previously known from India and neigh-boring territories (Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan). Coprophilus (s. str.) maximus sp.n. is the only species of the subgenus in the Oriental Biogeographic Region. The new species is the largest in the subgenus Coprophilus; it well differs from all other species from this subgenus not only in size, but also by the delicate microsculpture of the forebody. 收起
