| Abstract | The species of the tribe Scaphytopiini of India and Nepal are revised and redescribed. Three new genera and 6 new species, including Grammacephalus indicus sp. nov. from Ziziphus sp. in Delhi, India, are described. Varta is treated as distinct from Stymphalus , and Purpuranus is considered as a junior synonym of Varta . The genera Pugla , Masiripius and the included species are redescribed. A key to genera and a revised key to species of Grammacephalus are included. |
