Description
Telsimia bangalorensis Kapur
Telsimia bangalorensis Kapur, 1969: 48.— Poorani 2002: 316.
Kapur (1969) described it based on a single female specimen from Bangalore (Karnataka) and stated that “it is smaller and more convex than T. ceylonica (Weise) with which it generally agrees in coloration and in having a row of punctures each on the II-IV abdominal segments” and can be separated from T. ceylonica by “the coarse, sparse and well impressed punctation on the pronotum and elytra”. Two females collected from the same locality did not match the descriptions of T. bangalorensis and appeared to be different also from T. ceylonica and are not treated here.
Distribution. India: Karnataka.
