Phrynocaria eberti : Miyatake 1985: 21 .— Poorani 2002: 338 . Diagnosis: This species can be identified by its orange to yellow coloured body with five black spots on each elytron arranged in a 2-2-1 pattern as illustrated ( Fig. 8c ). Male genitalia illustrations by Bielawski (1972) confirm that it is indeed a Phrynocaria , but Iablokoff-Khnzorian (1982) included it under Lemnia (s. str.). Only a single female from northern India was examined and the genitalia could not be studied. Distribution: India . Nepal .
