Abstract

Indian species of Phrynocaria Timberlake, 1943 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are briefly reviewed and illustrated with notes on diagnosis, nomenclature, distribution and hosts. Coelophora circumusta (Mulsant, 1850), which has a limited distribution in India, is transferred to Phrynocaria (new combination) and Coelophora moseri Weise, 1902 is synonymized with it (new synonym). A new species, Phrynocaria perfida Poorani, sp. n. (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) is described from South India based on specimens hitherto misidentified as a variety of C. circumusta. The validity of Phrynocaria funebris (Crotch, 1874) is confirmed based on examination and dissection of the type specimen; the species is redescribed and the male genitalia illustrated.

摘要

印度的 Phrynocaria Timberlake, 1943 种（鞘翅目：瓢虫科）简要综述，并附有关于诊断、命名、分布和宿主的说明。分布范围有限的 Coelophora circumusta（Mulsant，1850）被转移到 Phrynocaria（新组合）中，Coelophora moseri Weise，1902 与它同义（新同义词）。一种新的物种，Phrynocaria perfida Poorani，sp。n.（鞘翅目，瓢虫科）基于此前被错误鉴定为 C. circumusta 变种的标本，从印度南部描述。基于对模式标本的检查和解剖，确认了 Phrynocaria funebris（Crotch，1874）的有效性；该物种被重新描述，并展示了雄性生殖器。
