Abstract

A new tribe, Kodaianini trib. nov., is erected in the subfamily Issinae Spinola, 1839 to accommodate Oriental monotypic genus Kodaiana Distant, 1916. The type species of the genus, Kodaiana campbelli Distant, 1916, is redescribed and recorded for the first time from Karnataka State of India. Relationships of a new tribe within the subfamily Issinae as well as origin and evolutionary dispersal of the family Issidae are discussed.
