Abstract

A tropical and subtropical genus, comprised of about 45 species. Dimeria R. Br. has been known to have 28 species in India of which 15 species occur in Kerala (Sreekumar & Nair, 1991). This genus of remarkably uniform morphology, is mostly montane. Presented in this paper are two new species, D. sreenarayanii and D. iddukkiensis. Besides, an amended description of D. kurunthoticalana Jacob, a highly variable species now known only from the type collection at MH, also is presented here based on extensive collections in Kerala.
