Abstract. A new species of the genus Ornithomya Latreille, 1802 (Diptera: Hippoboscidae), O. strigilis sp. nov., is described from the Lazovsky Nature Reserve (southern part of Primorskiy Territory, the Far East of Russia). The new species differs from other Palaearctic species of Ornithomya in its large body size, the number of long setae on the scutellum, and the arrangement of microtrichia (setulae) on the wings. An updated key to the Palaearctic species of Ornithomya is provided.
Key words: Far East, key, louse flies, Diptera, Hippoboscidae, Ornithomya, new species
