The leaf beetle Leptomona fulvicollis (Jacoby, 1885), new to the Russian fauna, was recorded for the first time from southern Primorsky Krai, on the western shore of Lake Khanka. Previously, this species was known only from Japan. It is the fourth representative of the genus in Russia, alongside L. erythrocephala (Olivier, 1791), L. russica (Gmelin, 1790), and L. subseriata (Weise, 1887). We discuss the external morphology of the Russian specimens of L. fulvicollis.
