Abstract EN
Three new species and one new record are added to the philopotamid fauna of India from the Indian Himalaya.
The newly described species under the genus Chimarra Stephens include Chimarra butticulata sp.n.
and C.
gangotriensis sp.n.
both from Uttarakhand and C.
sangtami sp.n.
from Nagaland.
The record of C.
nigra Kimmins (from Sikkim) constitutes the first record of that species from India, although it was previously known from Nepal.
It is redescribed here from India as there are minor differences in the male genitalia from previously described species (in original paper of Kimmins only lateral view of the phallus was illustrated and in the redescribed species the ventral view of phallus is illustrated along with the lateral view).
The four species belong to two different species groups and one species is unplaced in the species group.
These species are distinguishable from each other as well as from the previously known allied species by consistent taxonomic features of the inferior appendages, tergite X, and the phallic apparatus of males.
