Abstract
Two new genera and species of Scaphoideini from India, namely Kengundia flavoscutellata gen. et sp. nov. and Swetarekha multicolor gen. et sp. nov., from the Western Ghats in the Indian state of Karnataka, are described and illustrated. Their relationships with the known genera of the tribe are discussed.
