Abstract
A new species, Oxytauchira truncata Kumar & Chandra sp. nov. is described from Indian Himalaya. The new species is the second species of Oxytauchira Ramme, 1941 from India. It differs from previously known species by the presence of a comparatively very short tegmen and a truncated male cercus. A key to species of the genus Oxytauchira globally is also provided.
