Abstract

Genera and species of the subtribe Hecalina from the Indian subcontinent are reviewed. Three genera, Hecalus (28 species), Linnavuoriella (1 species), Thomsonia (4 species) comprising 33 valid species reported from the Indian subcontinent are recognized. Three new species, Hecalus shanayai sp. nov. (Maharashtra: Chikhaldhara), Hecalus tumidus sp. nov. (Himachal Pradesh: Kinnaur) and Thomsonia assymetrica sp. nov. (Meghalaya: Barapani) from India are described and illustrated. An annotated checklist and key to genera of Hecalina from the Indian subcontinent are provided.
