A new species of spider wasps, Priocnemis (Priocnemis) sugonjaevi Lelej et Loktionov, sp. n. is described from Khinganskii Reserve (Amurskaya Province, Russian Far East). The new species belongs to the P. unicolor species-group but can be easily differentiated from the East Palaearctic P. (P.) unicolor (Gussakovskij, 1926) and P. (P.) ishikawai Lelej, 1992 from Japan (Kyushu) by having smaller preapical tooth of the claw, by long thin setae of the volsella, and by straight apical border of the hypopygium. Priocnemis sugonjaevi Lelej et Loktionov, sp. n. differs from P. (P.) unicolor in a smaller ratio of the metapostnotum to metanotum length (0.95 vs. 1.1-1.2).
