Abstract
Two new genera and three new species of Microveliinae are described from India: Thirumalaia ocularis gen. nov. & sp. nov. from Tamil Nadu, Eyarinella robusta gen. nov. & sp. nov. from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, and Geovelia fikaceki sp. nov. from Arunachal Pradesh. A male-based key to the genera of Microveliinae of India and a checklist of Indian species are provided. Neoalardus typicus (Distant, 1903) is recorded for the first time from Rajasthan.
期刊介绍:
An open access journal publishing papers on insect systematics, morphology of adult and immature stages and/or their biology, phylogeny, large-scale catalogues, and general papers on methodology of insect systematics
AEMNP is publishing papers on:
Insect systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature;
Morphology of adult and immature stages and/or their biology with possible applications in taxonomy and phylogeny;
Phylogeny at least partly based on morphological characters (or with morphological characters mapped on the tree);
Catalogues applicable for further taxonomy and biodiversity studies;
General papers on methodology of insect taxonomy.
