Abstract

Thraulus jacobusi sp. n. is described based on the nymphs collected from the Veerapandi River in the south of the Western Ghats. Thraulus jacobusi sp. n. may be distinguished from other oriental species of Thraulus Eaton, 1881 by the following combination of characters in the nymphs: labial palp ratio, maxillary palp ratio of segments II and III, the colouration of legs, shape and denticulation of claws, shape of tergalius I, and posterolateral spines on the tergum VIII and IX. Nymphal diagnostic keys to Indian species of Thraulus are provided. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:69019BD1-BE64-4186-8DA9-C67D28DD6135
