Abstract
The Indian members of the subtribe Spinariina van Achterberg, 1988 are reviewed and a key to Indian species is provided. Spinaria westwoodi Cameron, 1906 is reported from Great Nicobar island and a new species, Spinaria indica Gupta & van Achterberg, sp. nov. from Nagaland, is described and illustrated. In addition, Batotheca nigriceps (Cameron, 1897) is reported from caterpillars feeding on Psidium guajava L. and S. spinator (Guérin-Méneville, 1830) from slug caterpillar (Limacodidae) on Elaeodendron glaucum (Rottb.) Pers. in southern India.
