Abstract

Three new species of the genus Bibio Geoffroy, 1762, B. amurensis sp. n., B. arboricola sp. n. and B. continentalis sp. n., are described from the Russian Far East. Development of the latter two species was found to take place under the bark and in decaying wood of deciduous trees. The species B. medianus Hardy et Takahashi, 1960, new to the Russian fauna, is recorded.
