摘要
In India, the genus Platycleis was known only from P. kashmira (Uvarov, 1930). A new species, P. rahmoiensis sp. nov., with its type locality in Pulwama, Jammu & Kashmir, Western Himalayas is described in this study. Additional specimens collected from the Ladakh region of the Trans Himalayas, India, indicate its broader distribution. The new species is described with detailed external and internal characters together with a dichotomous key for its distinction from P. kashmira. Based on the new species, we also report data on the acoustic signal from the genus for the first time from India.
