ABSTRACT. A new species, Himalafurca gorkha sp.n., is described based on two male specimens from high altitudes of the Nepal Himalayas. The species is similar to the two Nepalese congeners, both also known from the male sex only. The new species differs well by the structural details of the palp, mostly the shape of the convector.
KEY WORDS: Araneae, taxonomy, spiders, Palaearctic, mountain fauna.
