چکیده
A new monobasic genus of Nanophyidae, Indophyes, and a new species, I. yaromi, are described from southern India (type locality: Karnataka, Bilukoppa, 800 m, 40 km W Mudigere). The new genus is characterized by 5-segmented antennal funicle, strong sexual dimorphism of the rostrum, dentate femora, male tibiae unarmed, abdominal suture IV distinct in both sexes, male pygidium not foveate and 8 elytral interstria not crenulate. The subulate form of rostrum—abruptly narrowed apically—is unusual among the Nanophyidae.
