Calvia sichuanica Kovář, 2007: 608 (replacement name); Das et al . 2020a: 196. Diagnosis. Length: 5.70–6.50 mm ; width: 5.30–5.70 mm . Form broadly rounded to oval, dorsum convex and glabrous. Ground colour ochreous yellow to reddish brown, pronotum with two pairs of ochreous or reddish-brown maculae, outer pair elongate oval and lateral, inner pair median and situated one on either side above scutellar shield, rest of pronotum creamy whitish to yellow; elytral pattern as illustrated with ochreous / reddish brown spots having creamy yellow borders that are interlinked to form two longitudinal rows of spots ( Fig. 40a ). Genitalia not studied. Distribution. India ( Manipur ; Nagaland ); Myanmar ; China . Notes. Kovář (2007) coined C. sichuanica as a replacement name for Calvia sicardi Mader, 1930 because it was preoccupied by C. sicardi ( Nunenmacher, 1912 ) , a name originally described as Agrabia sicardi . Agrabia sicardi Nunenmacher 1912 (described from California , USA ) is a preoccupied name and also a synonym of Calvia quatuordecimguttata (L.). Ren et al . (2009) illustrated the habitus and male genitalia (as C. sicardi ). Das et al . (2020a) recorded it from Manipur (northeastern India ) and Myanmar .
