Abstract

A revision of the fishfly genus Neochauliodes van der Weele from India and its adjacent regions in South Asia is presented. Seven species are recorded and re-described from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, and Nepal, with one species described as new to science. A key to the adults of the Neochauliodes from South Asia is also given.
