Abstract

In the present paper, the genus Neadeloides is re-diagnosed and subdivided into two species groups: the N. cinerealis species-group and the N. nubilus species-group. A new species, belonging to N. nubilus species-group is described from India: Neadeloides nubilus N. Singh, Ranjan & H. Singh, sp. nov. A checklist of the genus is also provided.
