Abstract
Two new species of Monopelopia Fittkau, 1962 are described and illustrated from the Oriental region based on adult males and immature stages. Monopelopia (Monopelopia) recta sp. n. and Monopelopia (Monopelopia) obscurata sp. n. are described from India and a DNA barcode of M. recta is compared with congeneric sequences in NCBI GenBank. Additionally, a key to the adult males of genus Monopelopia reported from the Oriental and Palearctic regions is given.
