Abstract:

Canopyana gen. nov. with Canopyana vateriae sp. nov. as type species is described and illustrated. The new species was collected on Vateria indica L. (Dipterocarpaceae) while canopy was being sampled in Karnataka. The new genus is similar to Kutara Distant but differs in differently placed antennal bases, shape of the head and the male genitalia. Bhatia distanti Zhang and Webb previously known only from Sri Lanka is recorded for the first time from Western Ghats of India.
