Abstract

This paper is another contribution to the Indian caddisfly fauna of genus Polyplectropus Ulmer. Here, we describe and illustrate three new species of the genus from the Indian Himalaya: Polyplectropus sainii sp. nov. and Pol. himachalica sp. nov. (both from Himachal Pradesh) and Pol. kailashchandrai sp. nov. (from Uttarakhand). With these new additions, the genus is now represented by 7 species from India.
