Subscribe/Renew Journal
The Lagriine genus Bothynogria was named by Borchmann (1915) and 06 species has been described till date. A perusal of literature reveals that three species of Bothynogria namely himalayana Borchmann, 1936, bicolor (Kollar and Redtenbacher, 1848) and meghalayana (Merkl, 1990) were reported from Nilgiri Hills, Tamil Nadu; Sikkim and West Bengal (DarjeelingLebong and Lopchu) and Meghalaya respectively. The occurrence of the 4th species Bothynogria ruficollis from Uttarakhand state increases the number of Lagriine species in India and extends its distribution from eastwards and southwards to western Himalayan ecosystem.
