Abstract. Four new species of Microchelonus (M. balkhashensis, M. nikolskajae, M. pini, M. uzbekistanicus spp. n.) are described and illustrated. All of them have shortened radial cell; in this and some other characters, these species are related to M. subcontractus (Abdinbekova, 1971). M. balkhashensis is described from Kazakhstan, M. nikolskajae – from Tadjikistan, M. pini – from central part of European Russia, M. uzbekistanicus – from Uzbekistan.
