The Sericothripinae genus Neohydatothrips (Thysanoptera, Thripidae) in India with description of two new species.

Two new species of Neohydatothrips are described from India, N. chandrai and N. plumeria. The former was collected on leaves of a hedge plant in northwest India, and the latter on flowers and leaves of Plumeria sp. in eastern India. A key to the seven species of Neohydatothrips recorded from India is also provided. Partial sequence data of mitochondrial cytochrome <span style="text-decoration: underline;">c oxidase (mtCOI) from the holotypes of each of these two new species were generated.
