Abstract

Bhatia radhamaniae sp. nov. (Karnataka: Sirsi) and Bhatia serrata sp. nov. (Kerala: Nilambur) are described and illustrated. The genus Bhatia is redefined. A key to species of Bhatia from the Indian subcontinent is also provided. New locality records for Bhatia distanti Zhang & Webb, Carvaka kumari Viraktamath, Indokutara conica Viraktamath, Kotabala adiveyyai Viraktamath and Parohinka longiseta (Melichar) are given.
