Abstract
Two new species and a new genus of scorpionflies of the family Kaltanidae, Pseudochorista occidentalis sp. nov. and Kamochorista novokshonovi gen. et sp. nov. (Mecoptera: Kaltanidae), are described from the Urzhumian of Udmurtia (Chepanikha locality). This is the first record of kaltanids on the Russian Platform.
