The south Indian species of CharaeaBaly, 1878 are revised. The genus CneoridesJacoby, 1896 is synonymized with Charaea. Cneorides flaviventrisJacoby, 1896 is transferred to Charaea and new replacement name Ch. jacobyinom. nov. is proposed for it due to homonymy with Charaea flaviventre (Motschulsky, 1861). Three new species, Ch. boukalisp. nov., Ch. nilgiriensissp. nov. and Ch. sahyadricasp. nov. are described. Lectotype is designated for Cneorides flaviventris. Colour photos of habitus and drawings of both male and female genitalia are presented.
