Abstract

A new species, Asiodonus chaunriensis Legalov, sp. nov. from Uttarakhand (North India), is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to Asiodonus solidus (Petri, 1901) but differs in the prosternum with strong postocular lobes, relatively straight sides of the pronotum, and a mesosternal process that is not produced anteriorly. This is the southernmost find of the Asiodonus Legalov, 2010 and the first record of the genus in India.
