ABSTRACT. A new species, Synapion (Parasynapion) putoranchik Legalov, sp.n., from the vicinity of Norilsk in Krasnoyarskii Krai, Russia is described and illustrated. The new species is very similar to Synapion alexandri Korotyaev, 1988 and differs in broader elytra, narrower rostrum, less curved apex of aedeagus in lateral projection, and weakly narrowed aedeagus apically. This is the northernmost record of the genus Synapion Schilsky, 1902 and the first record for Krasnoyarskii Krai. Distribution map of Synapion species is given.
