摘要
The Himalayan species of Phaedon were studied and three new species described. So far four species were recorded in Nepal, one from Bhutan and three from Sikkim and Darjeeling. The new species are all from Nepal. They differ in colour and in the punctuation of the elytra and prothorax. They are all endemic in Nepal and found at high altitudes above 2600 m. It is supposed that they feed on mosses.
