A new species of a tessaratomid bug, namely Pycanum occidentale sp. nov, is described with comments on the other species of the genus found in India. This species can be easily distinguished from the other species of Pycanum by the shape of male genitalia, especially pygophore and parameres. This becomes the fourth species of Pycanum in India and the first one from western India. A key to the extant species of the genus is also provided along with diagnostic images of pygophores and parameres for three species found in India.
描述了一种蝽科昆虫的新物种，即西方扁蝽新种（Pycanum occidentale sp. nov），并对印度发现的该属其他物种进行了评论。该物种可通过雄性生殖器的形状，特别是阳茎基和阳茎侧突，与扁蝽属的其他物种轻松区分开来。这成为印度扁蝽属的第四个物种，也是印度西部的首个该属物种。还提供了该属现存物种的检索表，以及印度发现的三种扁蝽阳茎基和阳茎侧突的诊断图像。
