In the present study, new records are given for two previously described species, and six species new to science are described from Kyrgyzstan, i.e., Atractides bellus n. sp., A. karakali n. sp., A. kyrgyzicus n. sp., A. tienshanensis n. sp., A. ivanae n. sp. and A. yunusi n. sp. All material was collected in August 2013 during a collecting trip of the authors.
