Two new species of the genus Cryptomyzus living on Lamiaceae are described from specimens preserved in the collection of the Institute of Zoology of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Almaty). Cryptomyzus (Cryptomyzus) saryarkensis sp. nov. living on the ground parts of Phlomoides tuberosa in Saryarka region of the Kazakh Uplands in North Kazakhstan and C. (C.) nepetaphilus sp. nov. living on the ground parts of Nepeta cataria in Zhongar Alatau mountain system in south-eastern Kazakhstan. All measurements were taken on a Bel Photonics BIO 3T light microscope. Cryptomyzus (C.) saryarkensis sp. nov. is closest to C. (C.) maudamanti Guldemond, 1990 and C. (C.) galeopsidis (Kaltenbach, 1843). Cryptomyzus (C.) nepetaphilus sp. nov. is related to C. (C.) ribis (Linnaeus, 1758). Identification keys to related species of Cryptomyzus are provided. Two centres of species diversity of the genus Cryptomyzus are clearly visible in Europe (6 species) and Central Asia (9). Cryptomyzus (C.) ribis (Linnaeus, 1758), C. (C.) korschelti Bӧrner, 1938, C. (C.) alboapicalis (Theobald, 1916), and C. (C.) galeopsidis (Kaltenbach, 1843) are distributed much more widely. Cryptomyzus (C.) taoi Hille Ris Lambers, 1963 is known from Pakistan, India, Russian Far East, and Japan, and C. (C.) behboudii Remaudière & Davatchi, 1961 is known from Turkey and Iran. Copyright:
