Abstract: Gondwanoscurus socotrensis sp. nov. is described and figured. Specimens were
collected on Socotra Island, Yemen. The genus Gondwanoscurus Ježek, 2002, with
seven species (two from Peninsular Malaysia, two from Thailand and three from
Sabah, North Borneo), was previously recorded only from the Oriental Region. In
addition, two common species of moth flies are newly recorded for Socotra
Island: Tinearia acanthostyla (Tokunaga, 1957) and T. alternata (Say, 1824).
