Abstract
A new species of thread-legged assassin bugs, Ploiaria enigmatica sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Reduviidae: Emesinae: Leistarchini), is described from Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India. The new species has an interesting set of characters not found in any Indomalayan members of the genus Ploiaria Scopoli, 1786, and it appears to be morphologically similar to some Afrotropical congeners.
