Abstract

In the present manuscript, we describe a new species Barsaurea apatani sp. nov. from Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, North East India, and report Barsaurea diehli (Dubatolov & Bucsek, 2014) from Arunachal Pradesh and B. ketiga Volynkin, Černý & Huang, 2020 from Mizoram, North East India, new country records for India. Diagnostic characters are provided to distinguish the new species from its close relative, B. phaeoxanthia (Hampson, 1900). An updated checklist of Barsaurea is also provided.
