Abstract
New species of robber flies, Machimus leleji sp. n., is described and illustrated from Primorsky Krai, Russia. One male and eight females of this species were collected in a deciduous forest on Gamov Peninsula. New species differs from congeners by golden tomentum and setae on tergites, and the shape of the epandrium in males. The genus Trichomachimus Engel, 1934 is excluded from the fauna of Russia. Currently the fauna of robber flies of the Russian Far East numbers 99 species, of them four species from the genus Machimus.
