Abstract. The article reports on the first fecord of the genus Alampes Horváth, 1884 and the species A. longiusculus Horváth, 1884 (Heteroptera: Rhyparochromidae) from Kazakhstan. The species was collected on the Kalba Ridge near the Tainty Reservoir in the East Kazakhstan Province. This finding expands the range of the species, previously known in the south of Europe, in Transcaucasia and Tajikistan, in a northeastern direction by almost 1,000 km.
