A new species of the genus Theretra Hübner [1819], Theretra shendurneensis sp. nov., is described from Shendurney Wildlife Sanctuary, southern Western Ghats, India, based on external and internal morphology, and genetic markers. The new species is compared in external and male genital morphology, genetic divergence and geographic range with three similar and closely related species: T. boisduvalii (Bugnion, 1839), T. sumatrensis (Joicey and Kaye, 1917) and T. rhesus (Boisduval, [1875]). Recent changes to the classification of Theretra are discussed and rejected.

The monotypic genus Hindumanes Logunov, 2004 is revised. We present fresh specimens of Hindumanes karnatakaensis (Tikader & Biswas, 1978), the type species, and describe Hindumanes wayanadensis sp. nov. from the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, a part of the Western Ghats, Kerala, India. This paper provides the first description of the male of H. karnatakaensis and a redescription of its female. We also transfer the genus from Asemoneinae Maddison, 2015 to Lyssomaninae Blackwall, 1877. The relationship between Hindumanes and Lyssomanes Hentz, 1845 and the zoogeography of the subfamily are discussed. The distribution records of the genus are mapped.

Arundinella thirunelliensis (Poaceae), a new species from the Western Ghats in Kerala, India is described and illustrated. It closely resembles A. nepalensis but differs by being a rheophyte with large culms, glabrous culm nodes, leaf sheath and peduncles, effuse panicles with highly branched drooping branches, large, 3-nerved, deeply bifid smooth lemma with short twisted column of awn, and the lower glume distinctly shorter than the lower lemma.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpt.v21i2.21354Bangladesh J.

Eugenia sphaerocarpa, from Malabar Wildlife Sanctuary of Kozhikode district in Kerala, India, is described and illustrated. It has some morphological similarities with Eugenia codyensis, but characteristically differs by having obconic hypanthium, round staminal disk and glossy lemon-yellow coloured fruits. Palynological studies evidenced that the new species have cryptic androdioecy, a feature that is reported in Indian Eugenia for the first time.

A New Species

Syzygium bharathii, a new species from Megamalai Wildlife Sanctuary, Tamil Nadu, India is described. This species is closely allied to Syzygium benthamianum and Syzygium agastyamalayanum but differs from both by having a cylindrical stem with red young shootlets, glabrous leaves with wavy margin, quadrangular peduncle, large sized flower, inwardly curved filaments, narrow pyriform hypanthium, obovate, subglobose, ellipsoid fruits and ovate-obovate seeds. This combination of characters makes determining the relationships of S.bharathii difficult.
