ABSTRACT. Three new species are described from India and Nepal. Hypogastrura snesarevi sp.n. differs from congeners by the combinations of characters that unites the diagnoses of the monticola and nivicola groups. Ceratophysella redkini sp.n. belongs to the denticulata group and shows a specifically differentiated chaetotaxy partly similar to that of the armata group. Anurophorus septemvertex sp.n. is well distinguished by the presence of eight particular erect setae at the end of the abdomen. In addition, Xenylla yosiiana Gama, 1971 is redescribed and illustrated.
KEY WORDS: taxonomy, Hypogastrura, Ceratophysella, Xenylla, Anurophorus, chaetotaxy.
