ABSTRACT. Two new species, Erigone darvaz sp.n. (♂, ♀) and E. naryn sp.n. (♂), are described from the mountains of Middle Asia: Pamir-Alay Mts, Tajikistan and Tian Shan Mts, Kyrgyzstan, respectively. Erigone darvaz sp.n. is similar to both, the Siberian E. hypoarctica Eskov, 1989 and the Himalayan E. jammu Tanasevitch, 2018, but readily differs in the structures of the genitalia in both sexes. Erigone naryn sp.n. resembles E. darvaz sp.n., and is distinguished by the shapes of the palpal tibia and radical apophyses of the embolic division.
KEY WORDS: taxonomy, Erigoninae, mountain fauna.
