Abstract
Two new monotypic genera are proposed:Karnataka, based uponSchultzia? benthamii C. B. Clarke (=K. benthamii) from southern Peninsular India andKedarnatha, based onK. sanctuarii, recently obtained from the Himalaya. Neither genus appears to be closely related to other apioid genera of our area.
