Abstract
A new species, Cotasteromimus (Cotasterorhinus) dudkoi sp. nov. from Eastern Nepal is described and illustrated. This new species is very similar to C. (C.) philippinensis Legalov, 2020 but differs in the body covered with wider, almost appressed scales, shorter protibiae, wider antennal club, and aedeagus weakly narrowed before the apex. This is the first record of the genus Cotasteromimus for South Asia. A distribution map for species of the subgenus Cotasterorhinus is given.
