INTRODUCTION

Only one ascalaphid species Libelloides sibiricus (Eversmann, 1850) was hitherto known
from the Republic of Khakassia (Dubatolov, 1998; Danilov, 2014). Here, L. macaronius is
firstly recorded from this region. This is the easternmost find of the species. Perhaps, it may
be found also in other localities of the Minusinsk depression.
This article is based on the author's collection (DS) and the collection of the Zoological
Museum of the Khakass State University (ZM KhSU).
