Abstract: (279 Views)
One new species and three new records of Tomocerus have been reported for the first time from India. The new species Tomocerus sikkimensis sp. nov. discovered from Gangtok, Sikkim (India) has been illustrated and described here. The new species differs from others in dental spine number, arrangement and mucro teeth number. Tomocerus (Ocreatomurus) qinae Yu, Yan & Liu, 2016, Tomocerus (Tomocerus) minor (Lubbock, 1862) and Tomocerus (Ocreatomurus) paraspinulus Gong, Qin & Yu, 2018 are the first time reported from the Indian states Arunachal Pradesh and West Bengal respectively. A key to the Indian species of Tomocerus has also been provided.
