Abstract

The following nomenclatural changes in the Oriental Sticholotidini (Coccinellidae: Sticholotidinae) are proposed: Sticholotis quadrisignata rugicollis Korschefsky (1934) is elevated to a distinct species (status revised) and Sticholotis gomyi Chazeau (1974) is a new junior synonym of S. rugicollis (new synonym). The genus Neojauravia Gordon & Almeida (1991), described from Brazil, is a new junior synonym of Pharoscymnus Bedel (1906) and the type species, Neojauravia naeida Gordon & Almeida (1991), is a new junior synonym of Pharoscymnus flexibilis (Mulsant, 1853) (new synonyms).
