Ctenolepisma (Ctenolepisma) turkestanicum sp. nov. is described from southern Kazakhstan. It is the first species of the genus Ctenolepisma Escherich, 1905 with 2 + 2 bristle combs on urotergite II, whereas all described species of Ctenolepisma have 3 + 3 bristle combs on this urotergite. The new species is most close to C. przewalskyi Kaplin, 1982 described from Kyrgyzstan. In addition to chaetotaxy of urotergite II, the new species differs from C. przewalskyi in the distribution of hypodermal pigment and the number of bristle combs on the thoracic sternites.
