Abstract
Description of a new carabid species belonging to the rare genus Leleuporella Basilewsky with key to the species is provided. It is the first species of the genus from the Indian mainland and second from the Oriental region after the discovery of L. sexangulata from Sri Lanka. Disjunct distribution of Leleuporella, in the river basins in Equatorial Africa and south west of the Indian subcontinent is supporting evidence to the argument about the biogeographic separation of Indian subcontinent from Gondwanaland and the related faunal similarities between the regions.
