The present study is based on material collected in August 2013 during a collecting trip of the authors to Kyrgyzstan. Hygrobates tienshanensis n. sp. is described based on males collected from two springs in Tian Shian Mountains, at altitudes of 1750-2100 meters. In addition, new records of H. kirgizicus Sokolow, 1935 and H. bucharicus Sokolow, 1928 are given.
