Zusammenfassung:[Display omitted] •The discovery of Leluthia Cameron for the first time from the Oriental region.•First comprehensive revisionary work of the subgenus Leluthia (Euhecabolodes).•Reinstatement and transfer of Hecabolus hungaricus from Polystenus to Leluthia. The genus Leluthia Cameron, 1887 is recorded for the first time from the Oriental region. Two new species, Leluthia (Euhecabolodes) areola Ranjith et Belokobylskij, sp. nov. and L.(E.) indica Belokobylskij et Ranjith, sp. nov. are described and illustrated from the Indian states Kerala and Goa, respectively. The new species are most similar to the Western Palaearctic Hecabolus hungaricus (Szépligeti, 1900), which is reinstated from its synonymy with Polystenus and transferred to the genus Leluthia Cameron (stat. resurr. and comb. nov.).
