Notes. This species was described from Sikkim, north-eastern India, based on three males. Though it is certainly a species of Novius, the description and the accompanying illustrations are not good enough to enable its correct interpretation. Singh (2014) stated “this species closely resembles with Rodolia andamanica Weise, but can be easily differentiated by shape of apex of median lobe and ‘G’ shaped siphon of male genitalia”. The type depository is not mentioned in the paper and the type material is likely to have been deposited in the collections of Punjabi University, Patiala. It remains untraceable and is presumed to be lost. It is treated as a nomen dubium.
Distribution. India (Sikkim).

Remarks. The taxonomic status of L. gracillima has recently been discussed by Calder (2012) and Gil et al. (2020). Our material is consistent with that described by Gil et al. (2020) from the coral mounds off Mauritania. This is the first record of this species for Guinea-Bissau.
Biology. This species has been found growing on different types of bottoms (Jäderholm 1909), on Tubularia indivisa Linnaeus, 1758 (Calder 2012), on M. oculata and the bivalve A. excavata (Gil et al. 2020).
In our material, colonies were found growing on hydroids, worm tubes, bryozoans and D. pertusum. Coppiniae where not observed.
Distribution. Lafoea gracillima is considered as an amphi-Atlantic species (Calder 2012; Gil et al. 2020). In West Africa, it has been recorded from Morocco to the Cape Verde Archipelago (Gil et al. 2020). Its bathymetric distribution ranges from 20–30 m (Calder 2012) to 640 m depth (Gil et al. 2020).
Our material was collected at depths between 24–387 m.

Notes. Bielawski (1960) described it from Java and the adult is almost circular in shape with large brownish black maculae on the pronotum and elytra. The male genitalia appear to be similar to the types found in N. pumilus and N. fulvescens. Bielawski (1960) compared it with N. limbatus but among the species of the Indian region, only the darker variants of N. fumidus come close to this species in terms of coloration and N. fumidus can be separated from it by its distinctly elongate outline and the male genitalia. Canepari (2003) recorded it from Nepal.
Distribution. Nepal; Indonesia (Java).

Rodolia nigrofrontalis Kapur, 1951: 5.
Novius nigrofrontalis: Pang et al. 2020: 19.
Diagnosis. Length: 3.00– 3.20 mm; width: 2.45–2.70 mm. Body subhemispherical, closely resembling R. amabilis in size and outline. Head piceous, rest of dorsum uniformly reddish brown with a slight tinge of carmine, antennae and mouthparts reddish brown. Ventrite 6 posteriorly weakly emarginate in male, entire and rounded in female. “Very close to R. amabilis from which it is distinguished by the black front of the head, the coarser punctures on the elytra and by the structure of the genitalia (...) mainly the penis guide that is distinctly narrower and harply pointed towards the apex” (Kapur 1951). Male genitalia illustrated by Kapur (1951).
Distribution. India (Kerala).
Notes. Kapur (1951) described it from the southern Indian state of Kerala and illustrated the genitalia that are unique and diagnostic. It appears to be a rare species endemic to the Western Ghats of India and specimens are not available for study.

Remarks. This is a well-known species that requires no further comments.
Biology. This species has been found growing on a wide variety of substrates, including invertebrates (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002). In the northern hemisphere, fertile colonies have been found throughout the year (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002; Gil et al. 2020), while in the southern hemisphere, gonothecae were found in January (Gil & Ramil 2021b), July and October (Millard 1966a).
In our material, colonies were found growing on hydroids and bryozoans. Gonothecae were found in November.
Distribution. Campanularia hincksii is a circumglobal species (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002) widely distributed in West Africa (Gil et al. 2020) and also recorded from the Vema and Valdivia Seamounts (Gil & Ramil 2021b). Its bathymetric distribution extends from the tidal level to a depth of 1200 m (Leloup 1940; Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002).
Our material was collected at depths between 20–79 m.

(Fig. 19)
Rodolia octoguttata Weise, 1910: 51.
Novius octoguttatus: Pang et al. 2020: 20.
Diagnosis. Length: 3.50–5.00 mm; width: 3.20–4.60 mm. Form (Fig. 19a, e) elongate oval, dorsum strongly convex and densely pubescent. Ground colour dark reddish brown or rusty reddish brown; pronotum with two black spots on either side of midline above posterior margin, occasionally obsolete or absent; nominate form (Fig. 19a, e) with each elytron having four black spots arranged in a 1-1-1-1 pattern, elytral spots often much enlarged; ventral side uniformly rusty red to yellowish brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 19g –i) as illustrated.
Material examined. N. India, W. Almora, Kumaon, UP, India, H.G.C/G.C. Champion Coll. B.M. 1927-409/ Rodolia octoguttata Weise, Det. R.G. Booth 1991, 1 ex (BMNH); W. Almora Divn.

Distribution. India (Meghalaya, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan); Sri Lanka; Nepal; Myanmar; Thailand; China.
Prey/associated habitat. Icerya spp. Iqbal et al. (2018) recorded it as a predator of Drosicha mangiferae and the host plants were Eriobotrya japonica, Alstonia scholaris, Lagerstroemia indica, Mangifera indica and Dalbergia sissoo.
Seasonal occurrence. April–June and October in Pakistan (Iqbal et al. 2018).
Notes. Kapur (1951) described it in detail and illustrated only truncated parts of the male and female genitalia. He mentioned that it belonged to the same group as N. fumidus, R. guerini, and R. andamanicus by the general shape of the body, and the characteristic subapical projection of the penis guide. Bielawski (1972) illustrated the habitus and male genitalia of this species. Novius quadrimaculatus v. sexmaculatus (Mader, 1939) (Fig. 19 b-d, BMNH) is treated as a synonym of N. octoguttatus in Ren et al. (2009) but listed as a valid species in the world checklist of Novius given by Pang et al. (2020).

(Figs 18d, 20, 21)
Rodolia pumila Weise, 1892: 26.
Rodolia okinawensis Miyatake, 1959: 127.- Nakane 1963: 207.- Sasaji 1971: 239.
Novius pumilus: Pang et al. 2020: 20.
Diagnosis. Length: 2.40–2.60 mm; width: 2.10–2.40 mm. Form (Figs 18d, 20a, b) broad oval, apparently more elongate than in N. amabilis, dorsum orange yellow, reddish or reddish brown, convex and densely pubescent. Prosternal intercoxal process (Fig. 20c) broadly trapezoidal.Abdominal postcoxal line (Fig. 20d) complete, shallowly semicircular; posterior margin of ventrite 6 subtruncate in female (Fig. 21a), emarginate in male (Fig. 21b). Male genitalia (Figs. 20e–g, 21c–e), female genitalia (Fig. 21f) and spermatheca (Fig. 21g) as illustrated.
Material examined. India: Punjab: PAU, Ludhiana, collected on mango, 5 ex. (NBAIR).
Distribution. India (Punjab, Uttarakhand); Vietnam; China; Taiwan; Japan; Micronesia (Pang et al. 2020).
Prey/associated habitat. Both adults and larvae of N. pumilus mainly prey on Icerya spp., including I. purchasi, I. seychellarum, and I. aegyptiaca (Tang et al. 2022). Novius pumilus has been widely used in the biocontrol of I. aegyptiaca and I. seychellarum in Spain, Peru and the islands of Micronesia, etc. (Beardsley 1955; Schmaedick 2007). Adult females usually lay their eggs in exposed sites in the vicinity of prey; otherwise, they oviposit directly underneath the prey (LeSage 1991). The newly hatched larvae often penetrate into the oocysts of Icerya and their second- and third- instar nymphs to feed under the abdomen (Balduf 1935).
Notes. Tang et al. (2022) sequenced the whole genome of N. pumilus from China. Though the male genitalia of the Indian specimens examined from Punjab agree with the illustrations by Hoàng (1983) and Ren et al. (2009), the spermatheca differs from the illustration given by Pang et al. (2020). It appears to have a restricted distribution in northern India.
