New European wood-boring beetle Ptilinus zoufali sp.nov. is described. Beetle black except brownish-yellow antennae and last segment of maxillary palpus, black brown tibiae and light brown tarsi. Rami of 6th and 7th antennal segments are 2.4 and 2.7 times as long as their segments (4.5 and 4.7 times correspondingly in P. fuscus). Shining areas are absent on pronotum (middle shining area rises before basal margin in P. fuscus). Elytral costae are hardly visible (they are very clear in P. fuscus). Metasternum with slit-like middle recess of equal broad (the middle recess is pyriform in P. fuscus). Aedeagus: penis end curved ventrally and its top is truncate almost horizontally, inclined dorsally (penis end straight and its top truncates obliquely and slopes ventrally in P. fuscus); paramerae ends with deep oval notches (paramerae ends with round notches in P. fuscus).
P. longicornis, P. pectinicornis, P. pleshanovi easily differ from new species by long rami of antennal segments or on the contrary shorter rami (in P. iranicus), shining areas on pronotum, and of coarse by aedeagi.
