Two new species of Platensina Enderlein (Diptera, Tephritidae, Tephritinae, Dithrycini) from India.

Two new species of Platensina Enderlein, P.rabbanii David & Hancock, sp. nov. , and P.flavistigma David & Hancock, sp. nov. , are described from Meghalaya and southern India, respectively. Platensinarabbanii can be differentiated from P.alboapicalis Hering by the presence of a single hyaline indentation in cell r 1 and the apical hyaline band in cell r 2+3 restricted to the apex; P.flavistigma differs from P.quadrula Hardy by the presence of a yellow/fulvous pterostigma and shape of the epandrium. DNA barcode sequences of P.acrostacta (Wiedemann), P.flavistigma and P.platyptera Hendel were obtained and reported. Postabdominal descriptions and illustrations of P.acrostacta , P.platyptera and P.zodiacalis (Bezzi) are also provided along with keys to all 23 species and the 7 known from India.
