Abstract
Introduction The genus Neolestremia was errected by Mani (1934) for midges bred from the leaf bud galls of Boerhavia spp. from Chennai (South India). The genus approaches Lestremia Macq., very closely, but is chiefly distinguished from it by its triarticulate palpi. Later Sharma and Rao (1979) added one more speices from Maharashtra. The present species is the third from India and second from Maharashtra. At present, the range of the distribution of the genus appears to be penisular India, since, it is not yet recorded from other countries of Indian subcontinent.
