Keywords: crane flies, Limoniidae, new species, Palearctic, Russian Far East

Abstract

A new crane fly species from the genus Phantolabis Alexander, 1956, active in the cold season and previously known by a single, eastern Nearctic species, is described from Primorsky Krai of the Russian Far East. A revised definition of the genus is given.
