Type species: Verania cardoni Weise, 1892 , by original designation. Diagnosis. Form circular, dorsum strongly convex, shiny and glabrous. Anterior clypeal margin straight between lateral projections. Head ( Figs 23a , 24b ) with widely separated eyes, interocular distance more than twice eye width. Antenna ( Fig. 24d ) slightly shorter than width of head, 11-segmented with a three-segmented club. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform ( Fig. 24c ). Labium with terminal labial palpomere tubular and much less broader than penultimate palpomere ( Fig. 24e ). Scutellar shield small. Prothoracic hypomeron not foveate. Prosternal carinae absent. Mesoventrite anteriorly distinctly but shallowly emarginate. Epipleuron with inner carina not reaching apex ( Fig. 24g ). Tibial spurs absent. Abdominal postcoxal line ( Figs 23b , 24f ) incomplete, not recurved, running parallel to posterior margin of ventrite 1. Female genitalia with a vermiform spermatheca not differentiated into nodulus, ramus and cornu ( Fig. 23e, f ), coxite ( Fig. 24h ) as illustrated; infundibulum present. Distribution. Oriental region (South and Southeast Asia). Affinities. It is closely related to Micraspis and Tomaszewska et al . (2021) included Anegleis , Micraspis and Protothea in the Coccinella- group of genera in their phylogenetic analysis. Included species. Monotypic genus, known by its type species, A. cardoni (Weise) , a very pretty lady beetle widely distributed in the Indian region.
