Abstract The subgenus Euacartia has a single representative, Acartia southwelli, and was created based on a rather inadequate description of the latter. A. southwelli is fully redescribed here so that the affinities of this subgenus, Euacartia, with other subgenera of the family Acartiidae can be elucidated. Acartia sarojus, a new species inhabiting the salt pans of the Gulf of Kutch and closely resembling Acartia southwelli, is introduced. This species seems to have speciated as a result of events during the Pleistocene. Based on the descriptions, the status of the subgenus Euacartia is discussed.
