( Fig. 75a View FIGURE 75 )
Coelophora nitidicollis Kapur, 1963a: 29 (Holotype male, BMNH; Type locality: Sikkim).— Poorani 2002a: 329.
Diagnosis. Length: 4.25 mm; width: 3.70 mm. Form broadly circular, dorsum convex and glabrous. Dorsal side yellow, pronotum with a black macula on posterior margin occupying most of discal area except lateral sides and anterior margin; scutellar shield dark reddish brown; elytra laterally explanate, with two lateral stripes and one sutural stripe, not reaching apex ( Fig. 75a View FIGURE 75 ). Genitalia not studied.
Distribution: India (Sikkim).
Note. Kapur (1963) described and illustrated this species from Sikkim, and it appears to be rare and there is no matching specimen in any of the major Indian repositories. The holotype (BMNH) is illustrated here. It is similar to C. circumvelata , another poorly known species of the Indian region with black lateral borders of elytra.
