Scymnus martis Mulsant, 1853 a: 272 ; l853b: 144.— Crotch 1874: 252.— Iablokoff-Khnzorian 1972: 170.

Scymnus (Nephus) martis: Mulsant 1853 b: 144 .— Korschefsky 1931: 131.

Telsimia martis: Hoàng 1977: 1888–1889 .— Poorani 2002: 316.— Bi et al. 2022.

It was described from “ India Orientali” by Mulsant (1853 a) based on a female specimen in Motschulsky’s collection. Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1972) listed it as Scymnus martis . Hoàng (1977) transferred it to Telsimia View in CoL and gave a brief account with illustrations of the habitus and the genitalia. His illustration and description of the adult female show the elytra are black with reddish-yellow apical spots and it looks somewhat similar to T. postocula (from Andamans). The coxites also appear to be unusually elongate. The type specimen could not be studied.
