Abstract: Six new species of the tenebrionid genus Gnaptorina Reitter, 1887 are described from the Tibet Plateau: G. pilifera sp. n., G. compressa sp. n., G. kangmar sp. n., G. himalayana sp. n., G. globithoracalis sp. n., and G. nigra sp. n.; all of them and three previously described species, G. brucei Blair, 1923, G. cordicollis Medvedev, 1998 and G. tishkovi Medvedev, 1998, differ from other Gnaptorina species in the absence of hair brushes on plantar surface of male pro- and mesotarsomeres. A key to all 9 species of Gnaptorina lacking hair brushes is given.
