Abstract

Six new species of the genus Dasyopa Malloch namely, convexa, flavisetosa, pentastriata, tomentosa, unimaculata and venadensis are described from India. Dasyopa orientalis Cherian described earlier from India is transferred to genus Caviceps Malloch, to which it belongs. The new species described together with the earlier known remaining four species from India represent ten of the nineteen species of the genus so far known from the world.
