Abstract

The descriptions of Plectus amorphotelus Ebsary, 1985 and P. spicacaudatus Ebsary, 1985 found in Ukraine for the first time are provided. The variability of measurements in nine different populations of P. amorphotelus is given. Both species are characterised by atypical structure of tail terminus and absence of caudal glands. New data about distribution of somatic setae and shape of vagina are given. Abnormalities in tail structure in Plectus aquatilis, P. cirratus, and P. acuminatus are described and discussed.
