Abstract
A new species Procloeon (Procloeon) kottagudiensis sp. nov. is described based on larva and adult characters from a submontane stream of the Western Ghats, peninsular India. Diagnostic characters, distribution and habitat ecology of the described species are provided. Keys for the known larvae and male imagos of Oriental Procloeon (Procloeon) are provided.
