ABSTRACT. A new species, Dactylopisthes ramit sp.n., is described from low altitudes in the Pamir-Alay mountains of the Republic of Tajikistan. The species seems to be especially similar to both of its Central Asian congeners, D. locketi (Tanasevitch, 1983) and D. mirabilis (Tanasevitch, 1985), but it differs clearly by certain structural details of the palp and carapace in the male, as well as by the shape of the epigyne in the female.
KEY WORDS: taxonomy, Arachnida, Palaearctic, Central Asia, mountain fauna.
