Notoxus ravana species-group

Diagnosis. Elytral apices in males clearly modified; median lobe of aedeagus symmetrical, lacking distinct dorsal plate; parameres of aedeagus setose; latero-basal fovea of abdominal sternum III rather rounded, forming conspicuous, deep cavity.

Species included. Notoxus brinckianus Bonadona, 1986 , N. brunneorufus Bonadona, 1989 , N. ravana sp. nov., and N. variabilis Krekich-Strassoldo, 1913 .

Remarks. The range of this group is confined to the Indian subcontinent ( India, Sri Lanka) so far, and its members exhibit clear similarities (deep latero-basal fovea of abdominal sternum III, general morphology of aedeagus) with the Afrotropical fauna of the genus.
