L.N. Anisyutkin
Abstract. Three new species of the genus Pycnoscelus Scudder are described: P. gorochovi sp. n., P. vietnamensis sp. n. and P. rothi sp. n. The male of P. surinamensis (Linnaeus) is described, possible original area of this species is pointed out. Data on the morphology and geographical distribution of Diploptera punctata (Eschscholtz) are given.
