The number of setiferous punctures on interval 3 ranges from 8–10 in the specimens examined, whereas in the holotype, the setiferous punctures on interval 3 range from 10–12. In the specimens examined, the width of basal and apical black fascia on elytra are wider than the black fascia in the holotype.

Ophionea indica was first described by Thunberg (1784) and the holotype of O. indica was destroyed (Jedlička 1963). While analyzing the type species from Zoological Museum, Kiel, Germany, it has been noted that the lectotype of O. indica has not been designated. The characters of the syntypes of Odacantha cyanocephala (Fabricius, 1798) (synonym of Ophionea indica) preserved at Kiel Museum exactly match with the type description of O. indica provided by Thunberg (1784). Hence, one of the syntypes has been designated as the lectotype of O. indica (Figs. 3E).</p><p>Materials examined (n=2): Lectotype (here designated), in India (Tamil Nadu: Tharangambadi), Daldorff, Mus.
