A new species of Colotrema W ittmer, 1979 (Malachiidae: Malachiinae: Colotini) from Socotra Island is described and illustrated: Colotrema socotrana sp. nov. It is most similar to C. barbertonica Wittmer, 1991 from South Africa, but differs from the latter in colouration of the extremities and morphology of maxillary palpi and terminalia. This species represents the first record of Colotrema for Socotra. In addition, C. asirensis Wittmer, 1979 and C. testacea wajjensis Wittmer, 1980 are recorded from continental Yemen for the first time. A key to the species of Colotrema occurring in the Arabian Peninsula and in the Socotran Archipelago is given.
