Two new Teulisna species are described, and one species record is noted from India, indicating biodiversity.
Two new species of the genus Teulisna Walker, 1862 (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Lithosiina) are described from India: Teulisna (Cossa) breveprocessa sp. nov. (from Western Ghats of Kerala) and T. (Tegulata) nicobara sp. nov. (from Great Nicobar Island). The former is diagnosed with its close congeners in subgenus Cossa Walker: T. (C.) ruma (Swinhoe, [1890] 1889), T. (C.) munnara Volynkin, 2023, T. (C.) basigera (Walker, [1865]) and T. (C.) inducta (Walker, [1865]), whereas, the latter is diagnosed with T. (Tegulata) chiloides chiloides (Walker 1862).
